Today, we wear orange shirts to remember the more than 150 years of the residential school system and the hundreds of thousands of Indigenous children who were forced to attend, separated from their families, and stripped of their languages, cultures, and traditions.
We wear orange to honour the strength and resilience of survivors, and to remember those who never made it home.
Remembering must also mean taking action. We must continue to hold our governments accountable and pressure them to fully implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, so that truth, justice, and meaningful reconciliation are more than words.
