Orange Shirt Day Presentation

Orange Shirt Day!

This Friday September 30^th is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. 

You may not know, but Orange Shirt Day started in Williams Lake in 2013, and has now spread across Canada as part of our understanding and action plan to right the wrongs of what occurred during the time that First Nations Students were placed in Residential Schools.   However, the greater theme is Hope and Orange Shirt Day represents that Every Child Matters and deserves to be treated with respect and caring as they grow into adults.  To that end, the GROW Centre had an online Presentation on Thursday September 29^th at 11:00 am.  

The content covered was:

1. Introductions
2. What is Orange Shirt Day?
3. Reading of the Book – “I Hope”
