Wear orange 🧡 because every child matters 🙏
With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation coming up, NSMTC staff painted ornaments with messages of remembrance and reconciliation in honour of the children, Survivors, their families, and all those impacted by the residential school system.
Today, our team hung the ornaments in the trees outside our NSMTC Main Office in Natoaganeg. Staff also wore orange shirts in recognition of Orange Shirt Day and the story of Phyllis Webstad, whose orange shirt was taken from her on her first day at residential school in 1973. Her story helped inspire a movement that reminds us:
🧡 Every Child Matters 🧡
