September 30
The Art Gallery of Alberta encourages everyone to honour the
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation / Orange Shirt Day on September 30.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was created to give time for us
to "recognize and commemorate the
legacy of residential schools” and to take action toward
reconciliation.
Orange Shirt Day was created in 2013 to recognize the experience of Phyllis Webstad, who was stripped of her new orange shirt on her first day attending a residential school near Williams Lake, B.C. On September 30, we invite all visitors to the AGA to wear an orange shirt to honour the survivors and intergenerational survivors of residential schools and remember those children who never returned home. For more information on Orange Shirt Day, please visit www.orangeshirtday.org. To mark the importance of this day, AGA will offer complimentary admission to visitors wearing an orange shirt and illuminate our light column in orange.
