Students and staff across the Greater Victoria School District will proudly wear orange next week in support of Orange Shirt Day. The annual event is held on September 30th and brings people together to honour and recognize the impact of Residential Schools.
It is an event that grew from Phyliss Jack-Webstad’s story of having her orange shirt taken from her when she arrived at the Mission Residential School. Her story has now created an opportunity to have larger discussions on the aspects and experiences of the residential school legacy.
