People across the city showed their support for Orange Shirt Day.
Today, Sept. 30, is Orange Shirt Day, which recognizes the effects and intergenerational impacts of the residential school system on First Nation, Métis, and Inuit children in Canada.
Orange Shirt Day began in Williams Lake, British Columbia by the St. Joseph Mission residential school commemoration project. Phyllis Webstad, a young girl from the Dog Creek reserve, attended the Mission in 1973, where her clothes were removed, including her brand new orange shirt.
Earlier this week, Mayor George Pirie proclaimed Sept. 30 as Orange Shirt Day in the City of Timmins.
