On September 30th, people all across Canada will wear orange shirts to remember and honour Indigenous children who were taken from their communities and  families to residential institutions.  This year, Indigenous communities across the country continue to share the truth they have always known: that many of the children who never returned home remain on the grounds of those institutions in unmarked burial sites. These communities are now seeking to honour the missing children.  On Orange Shirt Day, we also observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. For non-Indigenous Christians in particular, this is a time to reflect on their role in colonialism and the ongoing responsibility to make reparations.  For more information, please visit www.united-church.ca
