The Survivors’ Flag is an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school Survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by Survivors from across Canada, who were consulted in the flag’s creation. Source:

Today, we reflect and acknowledge the land that we live and work on. Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation or Orange Shirt Day, a day in recognition of the harms of the residential school system, and a reminder that Every Child Matters. It is important for the live event community as it marks a day for reflection, education, and action. We all tell stories in our work, and today is a day to listen and uplift the stories of our First Nations, Indigenous, Métis, and Inuit, kin. Join the nation in a moment of silence today at 2:15pm to honour the missing children, women, girls, and two-spirit members of Indigenous communities. Reflect on our current moment, and write to your local representatives to take action repairing nation to nation relationships, and enacting the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Report. Today we encourage all Canadians to have meaningful conversations about our past and your individual roles in the direction forward.
