Orange Shirt Day is an annual day of recognition on September 30, when people are encouraged to wear an orange shirt in recognition of the long-lasting harmful effects of residential schools in Canada. The orange shirt, established by the story of Phyllis Webstad, symbolizes the resilience and regeneration of Indigenous culture in Canada. The day has been declared a federal statutory holiday titled National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
We will be having our Truth and Reconciliation assembly on Friday, September 27th. Wearing orange shirts on Friday is also encouraged. Due to our current enrollment and current space, we will not be able to have parents join us at our assemblies. A reminder that during the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on Monday, September 30th students do not attend school (school closed).
