7. Wearing an Orange Shirt is meant to recognize the harm done to
residential school students, and show a commitment to the principle
that every child matters. A date in September was chosen because it
is the time of year when children were taken from their homes to
residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage
for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year.
Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local
governments, schools, and communities to come together in the
spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.
