ORANGE SHIRT DAY is observed each September 30th. All Canadians are invited to wear an Orange shirt to honour Indigenous people and to show a commitment to the idea that Every Child Matters. It is a time for remembering and to recall Canada’s residential schools and their profound sadness on Indigenous families and cultures. It is a time for healing and reconciliation–to celebrate the beautiful gifts of Indigenous cultures. It is a time for hope–for us to walk together as children of God’s loving family.
If you are able to, please send your child to school tomorrow wearing an Orange Shirt.
