ORANGE SHIRT DAY
We wear orange shirts today to remember the 150 000 Indigenous children that were forced to attend residential schools in Canada from the 1800s to 1996, and to acknowledge the ongoing legacy of trauma left behind.
Orange Shirt Day started with Phyllis Webstad's story of how she wore a new orange shirt to her first day at residential school in the 1970s and how it was taken away from her. The colour orange reminded her of how she was treated at residential school and how her feelings never mattered. We wear orange shirts today because Every Child Matters.
