Today we observe, not “celebrate”, Orange Shirt Day. It is our Remembrance Day. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma for our communities. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

I’m embarrassed to say how many times I’ve seen schools rename kids over my career. Imagine telling a student “Here we expect you to learn the entire English language ASAP, but no, we can’t possibly learn to pronounce your name correctly!”🤦🏽♀️
