Orange Shirt Day occurs annually at the end of each September, the time of year when Indigenous children were taken away from their homes and put into residential schools. This year on September 29, 2017, the Faculty of Education is encouraging all students, staff, and faculty to wear orange as an annual opportunity to discuss aspects of residential schools, and to continue discussions year-round.

Everyone has the opportunity to order a t-shirt and join this important movement. The cost of each t-shirt is $10.00 and can be ordered in sizes XXS to XXL. If you are interested in ordering a t-shirt, please let us know in order to coordinate your order. The deadline to order is September 6, 2017.

Please email Anja Salijevic at asalijevic@upei.ca to place your order and state the quantity and t-shirt size(s) in your email.

Thank you for your support in bringing awareness to Orange Shirt Day we hope that many of you will participate in wearing orange!
