TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION WEEK/ ORANGE SHIRT DAY:

  • The federal government of Canada recognizes September 26 to September 30 as Truth and Reconciliation Week, capping off the last day as Orange Shirt Day.
  • National Truth and Reconciliation Week is to commemorate the violent and traumatic history and legacy of Residential Schools in Canada, and to honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, as well as recognizing the pain left with families and communities. 
  • At Ross R., we will be observing Orange Shirt Day on Sept 29th.  Students and staff can wear anything orange (it doesn’t have to be a shirt!) to show their understanding and support. If you don’t own anything orange and you want to participate, just think orange that day :0)
