Wear orange on Tuesday September 30: Honour survivors and commit to reconciliation
Wearing orange is a simple yet powerful act of remembrance and solidarity. It acknowledges the painful legacy of residential schools and affirms our shared responsibility to support Indigenous voices, cultures, and communities.
Every Child Matters. Every Action Counts.
Show your support by ordering the official 2025 orange shirt through the Orange Shirt Society campaign.
Let’s stand together in truth, respect, and reconciliation.
