SEPTEMBER 24, 2025—Orange Shirt Day, observed on September 30th, is a powerful reminder of the injustices faced by Indigenous children in Canada through the residential school system. It is a day of truth and reconciliation, encouraging all Canadians to learn about this dark chapter in history and to honour the survivors and those who never returned home. Wearing an orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture, identity and childhood experienced by so many. By taking time to reflect and educate ourselves, we acknowledge the resilience of Indigenous communities and commit to meaningful change. Learning is a vital step toward healing, and September 30th offers an opportunity to listen, reflect and move forward together in the spirit of reconciliation.
Here is a link to a video that was made at Allan Blakeney Adult Campus that features Regina Public Schools student and staff observations related to Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
