Orange Shirt Day Design
About Orange Shirt Society
The Orange Shirt Society is a non-profit organization with its home in Williams Lake, BC where Orange Shirt Day began in 2013. The purposes of our society are to support Indian Residential School Reconciliation; to create awareness of the individual, family, and community inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools through Orange Shirt Society activities; and to create awareness of the concept of “Every Child Matters.”
WHAT ORANGE SHIRT DAY MEANS TO ME
"The remembrance of children lost their lives in residential schools and how it’s important to recognize the impacts of their deaths and the survivors triumph through the actions of the past and making up for the mistakes made."
