NDTR + Orange Shirt Day

Today, on and National Day for , we remember the lives affected by the ongoing legacy of residential schools and honour the children who never returned home, Survivors, their families and their communities.

By wearing orange today, we are all reminded that “Every Child Matters” and honour the children who were lost in the residential school system and the Survivors from whom we continue to learn. Join us in listening to the voices of First Nations, Inuit and Métis to better understand the intergenerational impacts of residential schools.
