Bridlewood school will participate in Orange Shirt Day on Thursday September 26.  

Orange Shirt Day began in 2013 when residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad shared how her orange shirt was taken away on her first day at residential school. This story is an opportunity for students and staff to reflect on history, legacy, and implications, to discuss stories of survival and strength and to share ways we can work together toward truth and reconciliation. It is also an opportunity to commit to commemorating the children who attended residential schools, recognizing their experiences, honoring them, and sharing a collective commitment to ensure that every child matters and that each student is welcome, safe, respected, and cared for in their learning community every day.  Everyone is encouraged to wear something orange to school on this day.
