Today is Orange Shirt Day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The annual Orange Shirt Day on September 30th opens the door to conversation on all aspects of Residential Schools. This important day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) Residential School (1891-1981) Commemoration Project and Reunion events that took place in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in May 2013. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of Residential Schools and the legacy they have left behind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a discussion all Canadians can tune into and create bridges with each other for reconciliation. It is also a day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those that have been affected. Every Child Matters, even if they are an adult, from now on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear your orange shirt today - because every child matters! ...
