On September 30, the office of The Presbyterian Church in Canada will be closed for staff to observe Orange Shirt Day and the new National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a statutory day of remembrance meant to honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis Survivors of Residential Schools, their families and communities, and to ensure that public commemoration of their history and the legacy of Residential Schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.

An orange shirt—originally ripped from six-year-old Phyllis Webstad on her first day of school at St. Joseph Mission Residential School in B.C. in 1973—has become symbolic of all that was taken from the children: their language, culture, family and community relationships, safety, security and identity, sometimes even their lives.

The Presbyterian Church in Canada operated Residential Schools in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario beginning in the 1880s and running through 1969. It is important to acknowledge the church’s involvement in this legacy as we work to dismantle the systemic anti-Indigenous racism that continues with deadly consequences today.
