Orange Shirt Day

WATCH — Orange Shirt Day founder Phyllis Webstad answers kids

Orange Shirt Day is a commemorative day that was founded by Phyllis Webstad. This day is marked to honor the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada. Phyllis Webstad answers questions from kids to mark the 10th anniversary of the commemorative day.

Orange Shirt Day is an important day to remember the dark history of the residential school system and to honor the survivors. It is a day to come together as a community and show support for Indigenous peoples. By wearing an orange shirt on this day, we can show our commitment to reconciliation and healing.
