Wear Orange – Truth and Reconciliation Day
September 30 All day
In light of Truth and Reconciliation Day, held annually on September 30, students are encouraged
to wear an orange shirt to symbolize remembrance and solidarity. Roslyn will participate in
Orange Shirt Day on Monday, September 30, 2024.
Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family, and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom, and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
