Orange Shirt Day 2016
Posted on September 28
Grouard Northland School 2015-2016 school year
Northland schools will be wearing orange shirts to honour and bring awareness to the experiences of residential school students on Friday September 30th. Orange Shirt day began in British Columbia in 2013 when a residential school survivor, Phyllis Webstad, shared her story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day at a residential school. Since then, Orange Shirt Day has become an opportunity for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation.
Watch for #OrangeShirtDay photos on Friday!
