The Woodland Cultural Centre is excited to announce changes in our Orange Shirt Day programming! We will be having OSD events for three weeks during the month of September.

There is virtual programming for elementary and in-depth programming for middle and high-school, as well as educational opportunities for Organizations.

What is Orange Shirt Day?

Orange Shirt Day or National Truth and Reconciliation Day (September 30th) is a day when we honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to Residential Schools in Canada and learn more about the history of these schools. It has become a National Campaign to raise awareness and provide education about Residential Schools in Canada.
