Join NBCC as we remember and acknowledge the significance of Orange Shirt Day. This national movement reflects our commitment to recognizing the experiences of former residential school students and the importance of reconciliation 🧡 The origins of Orange Shirt Day trace back to Phyllis Webstad's powerful story. Her first day at St. Joseph Mission Residential School in British Columbia began with a new, shiny orange shirt that symbolized pride and confidence. Yet, that shirt was taken away, leaving her feeling a loss of identity. Phyllis, on her journey towards healing, reclaimed not just her orange shirt, but her strength and voice. She invited fellow survivors and all of us to wear orange on September 30th, echoing the sentiment that every child matters. This year, NBCC invites our community of learners, educators, and advocates for change to wear orange on campus on September 28th & 29th. Connect with your Local Student Union to secure your orange shirt for $15 and show your support. NBCC is excited to share that $5 from each purchase will be donated to Under One Sky 🧡 #OrangeShirtDay #NDTR #EveryChildMatters #NBCCIndigenous
