The day to wear for Orange for awareness of missing indigenous children is in September. But the news last week from Kamloops B.CÂ has flags at half-mast across the country today and people encouraging each other to wear Orange for awareness. June is also National Indigenous History Month.
The motto of Orange shirt day is: Every Child Matters. You can read more about the history here: orangeshirtday.org
Canada's last residential school closed in 1996. The residential school system is part of Canada's very recent history and its impacts are a significant part of our present. Wear your orange shirt on Monday, May 31 in honor of victims and survivors. pic.twitter.com/xZafSGEOZe

Such a sad day in Canada today. Flags are being lowered, orange shirts are everywhere. In memory of the 215 children found in unmarked graves. Yes, unmarked!! This is the start. #bringthemhome The govt needs to step up and match the children with family who loved them.
