Honouring National Truth and Reconciliation Day – September 30.

19 September 2025
Categories: happening, thinking
As we approach September 30th, which marks National Truth and Reconciliation Day, we would like to share that the team at the Skills Centre respectfully acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, and unceded tm̓xʷúlaʔxʷ (land) of the Upper Similkameen Indian Band and Syilx-Okanagan Nation peoples, upon which we are grateful to live, work, and play.
To start, we would like to share an article from https://orangeshirtday.org/ on the 2025 Every Child Matters T-Shirt Contest.
“Let’s put our hands together please……
We are overjoyed to announce and congratulate our 2025 Every Child Matters T-shirt contest winner, Sloane Cameron!!!
Sloane is a Grade 6 student from Innisfail, Alberta.
Her design showcases a tree, a heart, and children. The tree to represent nature and the heart to symbolize that every child matters and is equally important. The children in the design are holding feathers as an Indigenous representation; however, she drew them without faces so that they have no expression and can represent any child.
To Sloan, Orange Shirt Day supports Indigenous children and reminds others that all children matter. It is a reminder of Phyllis’s story, how as an Indigenous child she had her shirt taken away and her hair cut so that she looked like everyone else.
What a tremendous achievement, Sloane. We are exceptionally grateful for your beautiful creation.”
In the upcoming week, we will be sharing resources, articles and events related to Honouring Truth and Reconciliation for past, present and future generations.
🧡 Every. Child. Matters. 🧡
