Let's Learn About Orange Shirt Day (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation)
Maybe you've seen lots of people wearing orange shirts recently and a lot of them reading "Every Child Matters" on them. That's because, starting in 2021, Canada declared September 30th as The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It's a Canadian day of remembrance, where we're all encouraged to think about the history of the Indian residential school system and how that hurt the lives of thousands of Indigenous children and families. Even though this happened in the past, it still affects all our lives today.
