🧡 Orange Sweater Day 🧡
This day is an opportunity to recognize the damage caused by the residential school system, particularly to the self-esteem and well-being of the children who were uprooted from their culture, language and family.
On this day of reflection, we reaffirm our commitment to creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.
Orange Sweater Day is also a time for First Nations, governments, schools and communities to come together in a spirit of reconciliation, with hope for future generations.
We encourage our schools and families to take the time to learn more about this important day, and to make concrete gestures of solidarity. Here are a few educational resources:

A look back at the Franco-Ontarian Day celebrations in our schools!
Dressed in green and white, students and teams came together to proudly hoist the Franco-Ontarian flag and share moments of sharing, with concerts, workshops and crafts. A great day of pride and culture! 💚🤍
