Peace Wapiti Public School Division (PWPSD) students will reflect on the legacy of residential schools during Orange Shirt Day events, the majority of which will align with the official observance on Monday, September 30.
Orange Shirt Day is a reconciliation movement that grew from the St. Joseph Mission residential school commemorative event held in 2013 at Williams Lake, B.C., based on former student Phyllis Webstad’s account of having her new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school. The awareness campaign is an opportunity to continue the discussion on all aspects of residential schools. The September date chosen for the observance reflects the time of year when children were taken from their homes.
