September 30

 Orange Shirt Day/ the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an important public space for truth telling and for commitments to challenging ongoing colonization.  It’s now an official day across Canada.  The Orange Shirt Day society offers leadership for this important space, as all of Canada joins in efforts to honour, remember, and change.  Click here for more information and resources on how United Church communities in our Regional Council can support this day. “When you wear an orange shirt it’s like a little bit of justice for us Survivors in our lifetime, and recognition of a system we can never allow again.” -Phyllis Webstad
