BCIT Indigenous Initiatives and Partnership’s launches national orange shirt day project, ‘We Will Always Remember’ to honour the children of residential schools

British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) is launching the ‘We Will Always Remember project in advance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day) on September 30th to engage Canadians in meaningful remembrance of the impact of residential school and using this opportunity to commit to action.

“The goal of this initiative is to honour and remember the children and families who attended residential schools,” says Executive Director Kory Wilson. “We want Canadians to learn, reflect and dialogue, but more importantly, go beyond these activities and commit to action and advancing reconciliation in their personal and professional lives for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.”

The initiative aims to have Canadians create an orange shirt by hand with an instructional video, commit to an action at home and in the workplace from Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Actions, and post their display of the We Will Always Remember project on social media with the hashtag #WeWillAlwaysRemember.
