Good afternoon Members!
Acknowledging and Honoring Truth and Reconciliation Day
September 30th is recognized as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to honor
the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. It is a day to reflect on the
devastating legacy of the residential school system and to commit to the ongoing process of
reconciliation.
Orange Shirt Day
To mark this important day, our union is once again offering orange shirts for sale. Wearing an
orange shirt is a way to show your support and commitment to the principle that Every Child
Matters. All proceeds from the shirt sales will be donated to the Orange Shirt Society, which
supports reconciliation efforts and raises awareness about the residential school system.
The shirts cost $5 each.
