National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Orange Shirt Day is Monday, September 30, 2024

We wear orange to honor residential school survivors, their families, and those who did not make it home. This is a time of reflection and education.

Our division recognizes the intergenerational trauma caused by this dark chapter in Canadian history. Education plays a crucial role in building understanding and empathy. We are committed to educating ourselves, our staff, and our students about our Canadian history and the rich Indigenous culture surrounding us as we journey on the path of reconciliation.

We ask staff and families to wear an orange shirt on September 30 as we recognize Orange Shirt Day (established by Phyllis Webstad in 2013) as a day of reflection, education, hope, and support for Indigenous communities.
