Moderator’s Orange Shirt Day Message 2024

Press Release

September 23, 2024

On September 30th we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, or Orange Shirt Day. We witness and honour the healing journey of survivors and families of the residential school experience, and we remember those who didn’t make it home.

There is still a very long journey ahead of us as we seek to make things right. Racist or colonial policies continue to harm Indigenous children and their families.

On September 30th, and every day, we must remember that every child matters.
