HOW DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT ORANGE SHIRT DAY?
As we prepare to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation—also known as Orange Shirt Day—on September 30, the Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) is sharing frequently asked questions throughout the month of September.
Today’s question is: How do I learn more about Orange Shirt Day?
To learn more about Orange Shirt Day or about the impact of the residential school system in Canada, you can visit the website for the Orange Shirt Day Society: https://orangeshirtday.org/orange-shirt-day/
SCO’s webpage for the Residential School Research Project is online here: https://scoinc.mb.ca/rs-research-project/
The webpage has many resources, such as:
~Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future
~Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
~The Final Report of the Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor
~Books, papers, videos, and music about residential schools
You can also learn more by making an effort to attend ceremonies and event, like the people pictured in this photo—they attended an earlier healing walk in honour of Orange Shirt Day in Manitoba.

SCO is hosting the 6th Annual Orange Shirt Day Healing Walk and Pow Wow on September 30, 2026.
Attend the opening ceremony at 9:30 am at the Oodena Circle in The Forks in Winnipeg.
Afterwards, participants are invited to join a healing walk to the Canada Life Centre.
