SUMMARY:Orange Shirt Day Events
DESCRIPTION:Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the truth and legacy of the Indian Residential School system. It is an opportunity for First Nations\, local governments\, schools\, and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.This date was chosen as it was the time of year when First Nations children were taken away from their homes to attend Residential Schools. Today\, it is also an opportunity to establish anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. \n\n\n\nOn September 30 all Canadians are encouraged to join this discussion and build bridges in the spirit of reconciliation. This is a day to remember those we have lost and reaffirm the resiliency of Survivors and everyone affected by the Residential School system. \n\n\n\nLet’s continue to honour Survivors and all the children who never made it home. \n\n\n\n\nOrder Orange Shirt Day Lawn Signs & Decals here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNishnawbe Aski Nation Sacred Fire in Honour of Every Child Matters Date: September 27-30Time: 11 a.m. on September 30 Location: Pope John Paul School Grounds  \n\n\n\nFort William First Nation and Orange Abinoojiinh Movement Sunrise Date: September 30Ceremony Time: 7:15 a.m. Location: Anemki-Wajiw (Mount McKay)   \n\n\n\nDilico Anishinabek Family Sunrise Ceremony  Date: September 30Time: 8 a.m. Location: 200 Anemki Place  \n\n\n\nOrange Abinoojiinh Movement Sacred FireThis Sacred Fire has been burning since the first re-discovery of the 215 unmarked graves\, over 100 days ago.  Date: September 23 – October 1 Location: Anemki-Wajiw (Mount McKay)  \n\n\n\nThe Cedar Tree Planting Ceremony (accompanied by a community cedar seedling giveaway) Hosted by the City of Thunder Bay\, this ceremonial tree planting will remember and honour the children\, families\, and communities forever impacted by the tragedy of Residential Schools. Date: September 30Time: 10 a.m.  Location: Vickers Park  For more information: https://www.thunderbay.ca/en/city-hall/orange-shirt-day.aspx#cedar  Please note: Masks and social distancing are required by all attendees.  \n\n\n\nRed Sky Métis Independent Nation Craft Show Date: September 30Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. Location: Pope John Paul II  \n\n\n\nIndian Horse screening and community partners activities/information booths Date: September 30Time: 3-8 p.m. Location: Marina Park   \n\n\n\nFort William First Nation and the Orange Abinoojiinh Movement Pow Wow Date: September 30 & October 1 Location: Anemki-Wajiw Schedule of Events: September 30: 7:15 a.m. – Sunrise Ceremony 12 p.m. – Warm-ups 1 p.m. – Grand Entry 5 p.m. – Feast 7 p.m. – Grand Entry 8 p.m. – Red Dress Ceremony  \n\n\n\nOctober 1: 12 p.m. – Warm-ups 1 p.m. – Grand Entry 2 p.m. – Recognitions 5 p.m. – Pipe Ceremony and Feast  \n\n\n\nPlease Note: Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will be required upon entry.
