Students of Bishop’s University, Champlain College Lennoxville, Alexander Galt Regional High School and Bishop’s College School gathered on Thursday, September 24 to march on Orange Shirt Day. Inspired by Phyllis (Jack) Webstad’s story, Orange Shirt Day first began in 2013 in Williams Lake, British Columbia, at the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event. The event serves as a reminder to honour the memory of residential school victims and survivors, it attempts to raise awareness about the horrors of residential schools and encourage reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. See full story in the Friday, September 28 edition of The Record.
