Orange Shirt Day Resources

Truth and Reconciliation Resources Available

Orange Shirt Day serves as a reminder of our responsibility as Anglicans to acknowledge past wrongs, work towards reconciliation with Indigenous communities, and engage in meaningful acts of healing. The Anglican Church of Canada has made efforts to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, which address the legacy of residential schools and the Church's role in their operation. Observing this day allows the Church to participate in the broader societal work of justice, healing, and solidarity with Indigenous peoples

Bishop MARY IRWIN-GIBSON

“There is an urgent need for reconciliation in this land. Now it is time to take action towards a new relationship. Participate in the building of a new and reconciling relationship through learning, listening, and acting.”
