Details

Orange Shirt Day, also known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, is a significant observance in Canada. It takes place annually on September 30.
The day is dedicated to honoring the survivors of the Indian residential school system and recognizing the impact of this system on Indigenous communities.
The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations, inspired by the story of Phyllis Webstad, whose orange shirt was taken from her on her first day of school.

Details:

- Visit the Downie-Wenjack space in the library to watch the presentation and pick up your orange t-shirt cut-out
- Bring your cut-out to the Aultsville foyer starting at 11 am to pick up your orange t-shirt
- Join us for a meal beginning at 12 pm in the Aultsville foyer

Food Provided (Indigenous food will be available at noon. )
