A conversation about residential schools and healing.

Students at École Notre Dame High School celebrated Orange Shirt Day a day early.

SPRHS students tied orange ribbons in honour of those who attended residential schools.

Some have rang family's door bell to ask permission to take photos with display

Print and embroidery businesses have been left shirtless after orange shirt shipments delayed and suppliers out of stock.

On the last day of September, events to celebrate Orange Shirt Day have been planned by the local Grassroots Movement Committee.

St. Paul Education staff and students will now get Sept. 30 off from work and school.

Beginning Sept. 30 of this year, County staff will recognize the National day for Truth and Reconciliation.
