🧡 EVERY CHILD MATTERS 🧡

On September 30th, we wear orange to honor the children who never returned home from residential schools, recognize the survivors, and support the ongoing journey of healing for Indigenous communities.

The color orange represents the loss of culture, language, identity, freedom, and self-worth experienced by Indigenous children who were forcibly removed from their families and communities.

EVERY CHILD MATTERS is more than a slogan. It is a call to remember, learn, and take action toward truth and reconciliation.

🧡Join us on September 30th by wearing orange 🧡
