Description
Summary:A wave of orange flooded University campus on Monday. Now an annual event every September 30, Orange Shirt Day recognizes the shared history of our country and the need to work intentionally towards the full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's 94 calls to action. The date was selected as it is close to the time of year when children would typically be taken away from their families to residential schools, as well as helping to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year.
