Residential Schools & Reconciliation
Speakers
Our speakers are Indian Residential School Survivors that speak about their lived experiences and the impacts of Indian Residential Schools.
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”.
