The orange shirt has become a powerful symbol of the residential school experience and the broader movement for Truth and Reconciliation. It originated from the story of Phyllis Webstad, a residential school survivor who, at the age of six, had her new orange shirt taken away from her on her first day at a residential school. The shirt, which was meant to be a special gift from her grandmother, was never returned, and this experience became a symbol of the loss of culture, identity, and dignity that many Indigenous children suffered.
Wearing an orange shirt on September 30th has become a way for Canadians to show their support for survivors and their commitment to the ongoing process of reconciliation. It is a simple yet profound gesture that signifies the collective commitment to ensuring that every child matters.
