Phyllis Webstad's personal story was the impetus behind #OrangeShirtDay. In a 2019 interview with MTS, she said honouring residential school survivors is "a little bit of justice in our lifetime for what happened to us. We'll never be fully healed, but it helps us to feel better about being in this world." Let's honour the memory of the 215 Indigenous children who never came home from the former #kamloopsresidentialschool #EveryChildMatters #IndigenousLivesMatter | The Manitoba Teachers' Society

The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth noth

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. 🤷

Why an orange shirt? The orange shirt comes from the story of Phyllis Webstad, a residential school survivor. On her first day at school, the brand-new orange shirt her grandmother gave her was taken away, never to be returned. Her story has become a powerful symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom, and identity experienced by Indigenous children in residential schools. The orange shirt reminds us that every child matters, and that the impacts of residential schools continue to be felt
