Orange Shirt Day is a monument of the Saint Joseph Church (SJM) residential school in Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada, in the spring of 2013. It comes from the story of Phyllis wearing a shiny new orange shirt on the first day of the mission and it was an opportunity to discuss every aspect of the school every year. This day was chosen because children were home when they went home to a boarding school from their home in the year and it was an opportunity to set the stage of racial discrimination and bullying prevention policies of the coming year. It also gives teachers time to plan activities including children because we want to make sure we pass the story to the next generation.
