Truth and Reconciliation Day: We Honour the Truth and History to Reconcile a Path Forward

On Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30, also known as Orange Shirt Day, we honour the stories and histories of Indigenous children, their families and communities who were impacted by Indian Residential Schools. 

Orange Shirt Day is a grassroots day to remember and honour the story of Indian Residential School Survivor Phyllis Webstad, and all the other children who were taken from their homes and families and who survived Indian Residential Schools. We also remember those children who did not survive the colonial practices that lasted generations.
