National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The Brock University community is invited to take part in a month of programming to educate, honour and promote healing in the lead up to and on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Sept. 30, known as Orange Shirt Day.

To further raise awareness of the significance of the Orange Shirt and its message that Every Child Matters, the entire Brock community is also invited to participate in an aerial photo on Sept. 30 at 12:10 p.m. in front of the Maj.-Gen. Sir Isaac Brock statue.

Orange shirts are encouraged and can be purchased from a variety of Indigenous creators, including those designed by Montana Adams, an Ojibwe/Chippewa artist from Aamjiwnaang First Nation. Available at the Campus Store, the shirts support Survivor’s Secretariat, which assists survivors who attended the Mohawk Institute, the longest running residential school in Canada.
