Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day - a commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.  The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
We are encouraging staff and students to wear orange tomorrow to honour the thousands of survivors of residential schools.
