Every Child Matter

The origin of Orange Shirt Day.

This 30th of September, have you prepared an orange shirt to celebrate Orange Shirt Day? If your answer is “ not yet”, our collection of indigenous orange shirts, and every child matters crocs won’t disappoint you. On the other hand, in case you don’t know well about Orange shirt day, please keep reading my post to understand clearly.
Orange Shirt Day happens on September 30th every year. It began as a way to honor all of the Indigenous children that attended residential schools in Canada. It has become an opportunity to educate and remember the tragedy of residential schools and the cruel circumstances that Indigenous children experienced.

The date of September 30th was chosen as Orange shirt day because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It is an opportunity for local governments, schools, and communities to come together in the spirit of protection and best hope for future generations. 

The story behind the orange shirt. 

The color Orange was chosen as a result of the experiences of residential school survivor, Phyllis Webstad. Phyllis was only 6 years old when she was sent to St Joseph’s Mission residential school in British Columbia from 1973to 1974. Her grandmother had taken her to the store and bought her a brand new shiny orange shirt to wear to school. Phyllis was so excited to wear it to school. However, when Phyllis arrived, she was stripped of her clothing and never saw her orange shirt again. She was neglected, abused, and made to feel like she didn’t matter. She wasn’t allowed to go home for a long time. She recalls that every child there was crying to go home, but nobody at the school truly cared for them. They were made to feel alone, worthless, and like nobody would save them. Phyllis says that the color Orange now reminds her of that time in her life when her feelings didn’t matter. Phyllis’ story is difficult to hear, and sadly, it is like many others who attended residential schools.

Fortunately, Phyllis was able to return home to her grandmother after that year. She now uses her story and platform to raise awareness about Orange Shirt Day, and turn the feeling of no one cares into healing and remembrance that every child matters.
