Today is Orange Shirt Day. This is a time to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as survivors, their families, and communities.

Wearing orange today is one way we can show that we remember, we care, and we are committed to building a future where every person is treated with dignity and respect. As a school community, we encourage everyone to take time today to listen, learn, reflect, and consider how we can contribute to reconciliation—not only today, but throughout the year. Thank you, and have a thoughtful and respectful day.
