About Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

In Juin 2021, the federal government announced the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, to be recognized on Septembre 30 each year. This day fulfills the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call-to-Action #80 and serves as a day of remembrance, reflection, action, and learning. Since 2013, Septembre 30 has been known as Orange Shirt Day, a day to recognize the tragic history and legacy of residential schools through the story of Phyllis Webstad.
