SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - Fernie City Hall - 30 S
 ep 24 10:00
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation\, colloquiall
 y known as Orange Shirt Day\, is a Canadian statutory holiday to recognize
  the legacy of the Canadian Indian residential school system.\n\nThe day h
 onours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools\, their fami
 lies and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful histo
 ry and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the 
 reconciliation process.\n\nOrange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroot
 s commemorative day that honours the children who survived Indian Resident
 ial Schools and remembers those who did not. This day relates to the exper
 ience of Phyllis Webstad\, a Northern Secwpemc (Shuswap) from the Stswecem
 'c Xgat'tem First Nation\, on her first day of school\, where she arrived 
 dressed in a new orange shirt\, which was taken from her. It is now a symb
 ol of the stripping away of culture\, freedom and self-esteem experienced 
 by Indigenous children over generations.\n\nOn September 30\, we encourage
  all Canadians to wear orange to raise awareness of the very tragic legacy
  of residential schools\, and to honour the thousands of Survivors.\n\n\n\
