September 30 | National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today, we honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by remembering the children who were taken from their families and communities, the survivors of residential schools, and those who continue to carry the impacts of this history.

Why Orange?

Orange Shirt Day began with the story of Phyllis Webstad, a residential school Survivor. In 1973, when Phyllis was six years old, she arrived at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School wearing a new orange shirt that her grandmother had bought especially for her. The shirt was taken away on her first day and was never returned.

Her story helped inspire Orange Shirt Day – Every Child Matters, which has become an important day of remembrance, education, and reflection across Canada. It is an opportunity to learn about the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools and to reflect on what reconciliation requires of all of us.

For Turning Point and the people we serve, these realities are not simply part of history. The effects of colonial policies and residential schools continue to shape families, communities, housing, health, and access to services today.

Truth and reconciliation is about more than remembering one day a year. It means listening to Indigenous voices, learning from Indigenous communities, recognizing the impacts of the past and present, and taking meaningful steps toward a more equitable and respectful future.

Today, we remember.
Today, we listen.
Today, we learn.
