Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day.

It’s a commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.

Keewatin Tribal Council is recognizing Orange Shirt Day with events at the Ma-Mow We Tak Friendship Centre today.    They begin (began)  at 7 with a pipe ceremony and will include survivors’ stories, lunch, and birthday cake for those children who never had a birthday.

On Saturday, Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakinak will host events at the TRCC Gym to mark the day, which begins with a Survivors Honour Walk at 11 am at MacLean Park.

They will host a free lunch, family-friendly activities, and a survivors tea and bannock lounge.
