Orange Shirt Day is taking place on Wednesday, September 30. This is a day when we honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to Residential Schools in Canada and learn more about the history of those schools. Wearing an orange shirt and using the slogan, Every Child Matters, is an affirmation of our commitment to raise awareness of the Residential School experience and to honour the healing journey of Indigenous lives impacted by residential schools.

To show your support on September 30, you can post an image of you in your orange shirt on social media. Please ensure to include the hashtags #OrangeShirtDay and #EveryChildMatters. You can also tag Indigenous Education and Engagement (Facebook: HumberIndigenous, Twitter: HumberIndig, Instagram: HumberIndigenous).

Please also send your orange shirt image to mike.berg@humber.ca as soon as possible so we can add it to our Orange Shirt Day gallery, which will publish on the Indigenous Education and Engagement website on Wednesday.
