Orange Shirt Day is a special day in Canada on September 30th to remember kids who were taken to residential schools, where they couldn't live with their families or speak their own languages. This day started with a story about a girl who had her new orange shirt taken away at one of these schools. People wear orange shirts to show they care and remember the kids who were treated unfairly. It's a day to learn about the past so everyone can help make sure all children are treated with love and respect.
