What is Orange Shirt Day?

Orange Shirt Day is an educational event that started in 2013 designed to educate people and promote awareness about the Indian residential school system and the impact it had on Indigenous communities for more than a century in Canada. This impact still continues today. The event is held annually on September 30th (now recognized as Truth and Reconciliation Day) in Canadian communities with students and staff being encouraged to wear an orange shirt to school that day. The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which Indigenous children were historically taken away from their homes, forcefully, and taken to residential schools.

Why an Orange Shirt?

On her first day at residential school, survivor Phyllis Jack Webstad had her new orange shirt taken away from her. Her experience is used today to teach students about residential schools and their assimilation practices. Read more about Phyllis' story here.
