Join us and hundreds of others across Canada and wear an orange shirt on Monday, September 30
to honour the children who survived the Indian Residential Schools and remember those that didn’t.
Every Child Matters. We will wear orange shirts in recognition of the harm the residential school
system did to children’s sense of self-esteem and well-being, and as an affirmation of our
commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.
