Six Orange Ribbon memorials in Oshawa to honour lost children of residential schools – Durham Insauga
September 5, 2024
Oshawa is inviting the public to tie a ribbon at one of six Orange Ribbon memorials in the city to commemorate the children lost and the harm caused to their families through Indian Residential Schools.
The memorials will be in place from September 3 to October 7, with the ribbons having special significance on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada on September 30. Also known as Orange Shirt Day, it is a day to acknowledge the painful legacy and harms caused by residential schools and honour the children who never returned home, the survivors, as well as their families and communities.
