SUMMARY:Walking Together in Allyship: A Panel Discussion in Honour of Orange Shirt Day
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 30 is Orange Shirt Day, an annual day of remembrance to acknowledge the history and lasting impacts of residential and day schools. The national movement was sparked by residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad’s story. Her orange shirt—which was removed by authorities on her first day of school—has become a symbol of the harmful impacts of Canada’s residential and day school system.



Carleton staff, faculty and students are invited to honour Orange Shirt Day and reflect on the history and ongoing impact of residential and day schools and explore how we can all play a role in Indigenous allyship. This event will feature a visual display of the community’s collective progress towards the Kinàmàgawin calls to action, followed by an insightful panel discussion with Indigenous friends and allies who will share stories about their ongoing journey of Indigenous allyship. The speaking portion of this event will begin promptly at 2:30 p.m. Please join us in seeking out opportunities toward conciliation—on Orange Shirt Day and beyond.
LOCATION:Teraanga Commons Conference Rooms, 270-274 Teraanga Commons, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Dr, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6
