Orange shirt day is held annually on September 30. It is an opportunity for all people to come together in the spirit of reconciliation. Orange Shirt Day began in 2013 when residential school survivor, Phyllis Webstad, shared how her orange shirt was taken away on her first day at a residential school.  As there are no classes on September 30, National Indigenous Peoples Day, students are encouraged to wear an orange t-shirt Tuesday, September 29.
