Orange Shirt Day on September 30, also known as National Truth and Reconciliation Day, is an opportunity to acknowledge the history and lasting impact of residential schools, to honour Survivors, and to remember the children who never returned home.
We invite members of the community to show their support for this day by purchasing one of these special t-shirts. You can purchase your orange t-shirt at the Gift Shop (Main St. Gifts & Variety), located next to Tim Hortons in the Main East Lobby.
All proceeds raised will support Mînowacihewin, Regional Service for Indigenous People.
