🧡 Orange Shirt Day – National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡
In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th, LSSD invites our entire community to wear orange on Monday, September 29th.
Wearing orange is a way to honour Survivors, their families, and the children who never returned home. Together, we show that Every Child Matters.
As there is no school on September 30th, we also welcome our community to take part in the many Truth and Reconciliation events happening across Canada.
