As Founding Member of Orange Shirt Day and Founding Member & CEO for Orange Shirt Society, Phyllis Webstad facilitates dialogue around the Indian Residential School system and creates space for education, awareness and healing. Orange Shirt Day – National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, recognized annually on September 30, is a day to honour residential school survivors and their families and to remember those that never made it home. It is a day for people to reflect, educate themselves and commit to Truth and Reconciliation.
Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.
The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
