Orange Shirt Graduation Ceremony to Honor First BC Grads

Today, the Orange Shirt Society announced a milestone for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

In April 2026, a graduation celebration at BC Place will honour the Class of 2026, the first cohort in B.C. to graduate having carried the truths of Orange Shirt Day and Residential School history from Kindergarten through Grade 12.

This historic gathering will bring together students, educators, leaders, and communities to celebrate the power of truth in education and the possibilities of reconciliation.

The Orange Shirt Society was formed in Williams Lake by the founders of Orange Shirt Day to encourage and support communities to recognize Orange Shirt Day and to support reconciliation events and activities. Our goal is to create awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools through Orange Shirt Day activities, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.
