On this day, we honour Phyllis Webstad and over 150,000 children who experienced the trauma of attending government-sanctioned residential schools. Phyllis was taken to St. Joseph Mission Residential School in British Columbia back in 1973; she was only six-years-old. When Phyllis arrived at the residential school wearing an orange shirt, she was forced to take it off to replace it with the school\u2019s institutional uniform. Orange Shirt Day is a collective commitment to honour these children who were \u201ccollected\u201d around September 30<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to attend residential schools where they were exposed to abuse, neglect, systemic and overt racism, and separation from their loved ones and culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main goals of Orange Shirt Day include supporting Indian Residential School reconciliation, to witness and honour the healing journey of survivors and families, to commit to the ongoing process of truth and reconciliation, and to create awareness of the individual, familial, and communal intergenerational impacts of the residential school system in Canada.
