GRWM for Orange Shirt Day. Did you know Phyllis Webstad was only 6 years old when she wore her new orange shirt for her first day at residential school? It was here where her shirt was immediately taken from her by school staff and the orange shirt became a symbol of rememberance. Orange Shirt Day honours the children who survived Indian Residential Schools and remember those who did not. Don’t forget to visit the Centennial College bookstore before September 30th and maybe we’ll be matching. 🤷
