We hope everyone will join with us and wear an orange shirt on Thursday, September 30.
Wearing an orange shirt and promoting the slogan, Every Child Matters, is an affirmation of our commitment to raise awareness of the residential school experience and to ensure that every child matters as we focus on our hope for a better future in which children are empowered to help each other.
September 30 was chosen as the date to commemorate all the children that attended residential schools as it was also the time of year that children had to leave their homes and communities to attend the schools. This annual campaign began in 2013 after Phyllis Webstad shared this experience at a reunion with other survivors.
Locally, donations can be made to:
