Orange shirt day is an important day to reflect on all of the horrors that these indigenous children went through. Stories from survivors such as Phylis Webstad show the importance of reconciling with these people that have been harmed.
Barrera, Jorge et al. “BEYOND94.” CBCNEWS, March 19, 2018, http://www.cbc.ca/newsinteractives/beyond-94/. Accessed 08 November 2024
Canada’s progress in addressing the 94 calls to action still has lots of room for growth as less than 20% of the calls to action have been completed. This is still substanial progress compared to 20 years ago where Orange shirt day and National day for truth and reconciliation did not exist yet.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – Province of British Columbia
The National day for truth and reconciliation was finally established in 2021, more than 20 years after the horrors of residential schools were closed, and nearly 200 years after they started. The day was established to bring some of the horrors of these schools to light and to honor and remember the survivors and the kids who didn’t make it.
