The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is a solemn day of remembrance, an opportunity for all Canadians to recognize and reflect on the suffering and continuing impact of the Aboriginal residential school system, and to express our deep respect and regret for those Aboriginal people who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for the right to be free and for those children who received racial discrimination and were left in the shadow of the residential schools. On this day, we wear orange to express our condolences to all the victims, and understand the origin of this day, to call on more people to pay attention to this holiday, and to contribute to the protection and preservation of the surviving Aboriginal people, so that they can live a happy life, and have a symbol of freedom.

Between 1831 and 1996, there were 140 federally administered Aboriginal residential schools in Canada. The last Aboriginal residential school closed in 1998.

Every Child Matters: Phyllis Webstad’s Story Behind Orange Shirt Day (rbcroyalbank.com)

Orange Day began in 2013 as a grassroots, Aboriginal-led movement to educate and sensitize Canadians about the Aboriginal residential school system and its painful, lasting impact on Aboriginal communities. Residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad established the day to commemorate loss of her new orange shirt on her first day of school. It now symbolizes the deprivation of freedom and self-esteem experienced by generations of Aboriginal children. Webstad spent the last 40 years rediscovering her identity and fighting back against racism and bully, with her tagline (every child matters) and using the color orange to spread awareness. This is where the main slogan of Orange Day, ‘every child matters’comes from.

“Beyond 94” CBC News March 19, 2018 Beyond 94 | CBC News. Accessed 2023-10 -30

Canada has created the 94 calls to action. Currently Canada has only completed 13 of the 94 calls to action. It is  considering the 94 calls to action were made on June 2015.

The beyond 94 was result of a years worth of interviews with survivors and all level of the government。Well, according to the graph dot table of the circles to explore each call to action, we clearly know that the reconciliation advocacy effect was very good, According to the statistics, we can clearly see that the red dot on in progress-projects underway was occupy more, that shows there are slowly many people makes effort on reconciliation. That was the part we can continue.

There are efforts of the program team to interview statistics and understand the past experiences of the survivors in order to feel the pain of the past deprivation of people’s freedom and care for children who survived. It shows how we are trying to understand the past and present situation and life of the survivors to help them accordingly. We can see this program is more understanding the reconciliation and less about language and culture. In my opinion, understanding language and culture of survivors is also a  important part of program, I think this is something that ‘beyond’ needs to pay more attention, because if we don’t understand language of people and their history culture, there is no way that we provide most reasonable policies to help them.

In total, There were 63 out of the 94 calls have been proposed or underway, 13 are completed,18 have not started. well part of product that they were already done was less, and not done very much, most of it was in process, but there were also many parts that the beyond and government needs to change, and let the products that was done occupy more. in the future, i hope every Aboriginal get more appropriate help.

June 2021, Canadian government passed the bill C-5 that September 30 of every year  be Truth and reconciliation day. It is day that shows our respect and its a good chance engage people about B.C colonial history and how continues to impact communities. there will going to be more British Columbians that able to take part in attend local events, and listening to the created content, talking to family and wearing the orange t-shirt to be reverence, to be more engageable And memory that many people were dead in this day.

well, Phyllis Webstad, representative of Orange Day Association, said, “With federal government passing legislation to designate September 30th, Orange Day, as National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, it is now the province of BC that has proclaimed the legislation. Today’s (Tuesday’s) proclamation will help ensure that what happened to us will not happen again and will not be forgotten.”

I’ve learned that the orange shirts symbolize how boarding school system strips students of their Indigenous identity and racial culture. On this day, people will revisit and reflect on the history of cultural genocide and raise awareness of the destruction of Aboriginal culture in Canada.The orange and white survivor flag was designed by the National Center for Truth and Reconciliation and survivors from across Canada, and also serves as an expression of mourning.I have come to realize that moving towards reconciliation means building mutual understanding and improving relationships in the process of healing.

In the time 2022, province consulted with indigenous partners across B.C. include the residential school survivors and was about how best observe September 30. These groups were communicated creation of new statutory holiday is way for we to participate in events on this day. Government expanded engage by seeking from B.C employers and employees. government establish September 30 was statutory holiday, so that employees have time commemorate on meaning of this day.

Call to action about get people in schools to understand what happening, telling the child welfare legacy, is about calling upon feferal and territorial to commit reduce number of Aboriginal childrens in the care.

I understand that this article uses a list of ideas and clearly states the need for us to know the information with good advocacy, thus stating that the government and everyone will strive to give and help those who survive the best and provide adequate resources and care for their lives, and to always monitor the actions with statistics to strive for the best programs for everyone. Community and child welfare is also an essential part of this. The government and everyone else will be working to bring more volunteers and staff, and for better results, several action groups have been organized. There are social workers who ensure that child welfare investigations are carried out, and people are educated and trained to understand Aboriginal communities and families. There is appropriate training for Aboriginal communities to understand Aboriginal communities. and consideration of child care. Strive to be very thorough and provide the best possible help to all survivors。It helps me with my intercultural understanding and respectfully also unity and collaborate also publicize.  calls_to_action_english2.pdf (gov.bc.ca)
