Our Community Wellness staff at 404 Hanson St. have worn their orange shirts today ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Why orange shirts?
It's because of Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, a survivor of the Mission School near Williams Lake, BC. On Webstad's first day, the orange shirt given to her by her grandmother was taken away. That theft represented the loss of identity and culture experienced by Indigenous children as a result of the Residential School system.
Webstad's story has turned into a national movement. It's a reminder of the legacy of the Residential School system but also the fundamental truth that Every Child Matters.
