What is Orange Shirt Day?
Orange Shirt Day is a national movement in Canada. During this annual event, Indigenous and non-Indigenous people come together in the spirit of hope and reconciliation to honour residential school survivors, their families, and communities.

On this day, we learn about the impacts of the policies and actions of the Government of Canada and the churches that operated the schools. We listen to the stories of survivors and their families and remember those that didn’t make it home.

This year’s Orange Shirt Day will take place on September 30, 2021, the inaugural National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Orange Shirt Day began in Williams Lake, BC in 2013 at the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event at which, survivor Phyllis Webstad told the story of her shiny new orange shirt that was taken away from her on her first day of school at the SJM.

Orange Shirt Day occurs in early fall because this is the time of year when children were removed from their families and forced to attend residential schools.

The residential school era began in the early 1870’s, with the last school closing in 1996. More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children attended these schools. There are an estimated 80,000 survivors living today.
