Orange Shirt Day is observed annually on September 30 to honour Indigenous residential school survivors and their families and to remember the children who did not come home.
Residential school survivors can call 1-866-925-4419 for emotional crisis referral services. Indigenous Peoples across Canada can also call the toll-free Hope for Wellness Help Line at 1-855-242-3310 or connect to the online chat at www.hopeforwellness.ca.
