On Friday, September 30th, 2022, students and staff from across the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) will commemorate Orange Shirt Day. Staff and students are encouraged to wear orange to acknowledge the impact of the residential school system, raise awareness and honour Indigenous communities, to promote reconciliation.
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 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 wearing an Orange Shirt.
Thank you for your continued support.
