Orange Shirt Day (National Day of Truth & Reconciliation) is on September 30th. With this day of reflection and learning fast approaching, we are offering streamlined and impactful Orange Shirt Day Partnership Packages.

Our mission remains commemorating the day, raising awareness about the significance of Orange Shirt Day (National Day of Truth & Reconciliation), and generating the financial means to support events for survivors and the creation of a Residential School Memorial Garden.
