Orange Shirt Day
Date: September 30th, 2025
Location: Lockwood Park, Westport.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Orange Shirt Day was inspired by Phyllis Webstad, a residential school survivor, whose new orange shirt was taken away on her first day of residential school. This story has become a powerful symbol of the experience of many indigenous children.
The Better Together Circle acknowledges that we are on the land that has been inhabited by Indigenous Peoples from the beginning. As settlers, we're grateful for the opportunity to meet, work and play here, and we thank all the generations of people stretching back in time who have taken care of this land. In particular, we gratefully acknowledge the Algonquin (Omàmìwininìwag) Anishnaabeg whose unceded territory this is. BTC is dedicated to taking action towards reconciliation and a harmonious relationship with the land.
"What we do to the land, we do to ourselves." Chief Seattle.
