Orange Shirt Day: September 29
UBCM is pleased to once again recognize Orange Shirt Day at this year's UBCM Convention. Delegates are encouraged to wear orange on Friday, September 29 for
Orange Shirt Day - an annual day of recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and wellbeing. Wearing an orange shirt is a way to honour the survivors and remember those that did not survive. UBCM has purchased a supply of Orange T-shirts through the
official supplier and will have these available to delegates, by donation, on site at the Convention. Other items are also
for sale on-line through the supplier. Proceeds of the sales will be going to Phyllis (Jack) Webstad's Orange Shirt Society.
