Truth and Reconciliation Day

Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30.

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.  The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

On September 29th, please where your orange shirt to Alpha.

If you’re looking to educate yourself further around what this day is about and why it matters, check out the resources available at https://nctr.ca/education/coming-soon-truth-and-reconciliation-week-2023/

Happy September and welcome back to the school and the library!

Reminder to students that books can be checked out anytime the library is open. You can check out up to 5 books at a time, and you get to keep them for up to 3 weeks.

When you’re finished return your books to the library book drops located in the hallway right outside the library, or in the side of the main library desk. If you aren’t done your book after 3 weeks come speak to us and we can renew it for you.

Happy reading!
