In two weeks, Saturday, September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, a day to teach reconciliation, and learn the history of children who were taken from their families to residential schools.
Garden will participate on Friday, September 29 by asking kids to wear orange tops.
You can buy your own Orange Shirt and learn more about Canada's history with residential schools at http://www.orangeshirtday.org/
