Orange Shirt Day, also called National Day for Truth and Reconciliation or National Day of Remembrance, is observed yearly on September 30 in Canada and the United States. This year Canada will hold its second statutory holiday observation of Orange Shirt Day to commemorate the missing and murdered children from residential schools and honor the healing journeys of residential school survivors.
Today and every day, we encourage you to learn whose lands you reside on, learn local Indigenous histories, support and resource Indigenous leadership and organizations, buy from Indigenous business owners and artists, and share what you have learned with your communities and networks.
