At the Education & Music Library, we are giving out free buttons to wear in support of Orange Shirt Day on September 30th and also to honour Stolen Sisters on October 4th.
Orange Shirt Day: September 30th is a designated day to commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation.
No More Stolen Sisters: On October 4th, hundreds of Sisters in Spirit vigils will be held in communities across Canada to honour Indigenous women who have gone missing or been murdered. Wearing a button shows support for finding solutions to end the Canadian human rights crisis of violence against Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit persons.
