Orange Shirt Day: Why It Matters
Wearing orange is a powerful act of remembrance, resilience, and hope. It honors the Indigenous children who were taken from their families, the communities forever changed, and the generations still healing from the trauma of residential schools. But it also reflects our shared hope for truth, justice, and reconciliation.
When you wear orange, you stand with the message that Every Child Matters. You recognize the lives lost, the pain endured, and the strength of those who survived. Orange Shirt Day is not just a memorial. It's a call to action, a commitment to learning, acknowledging history, and building a better future.
"Wearing orange is how we say: We remember. We stand together. And we believe in healing and change. We are still here... and our voices matter."
