Orange Shirt Day | September 30
As a small business owner, I do not identify as Indigenous and strongly believe that Orange Shirt Day should be a conversation led by Indigenous voices. For the past few years, I have been honoured to collaborate with the Dufferin County Cultural Resource Circle (DCCRC), an organization dedicated to cultural education and community support.
Together, we sold Orange Shirt Day shirts, with net proceeds supporting their important work.
While the DCCRC is no longer operational, and out of respect for the Brave Canoe and Town Tees partnership, we will not be producing new shirts this year. However, we do have a limited inventory remaining that we are moving forward in support of the message behind Orange Shirt Day.
***Should all remaining inventory be sold, I’m happy to donate proceeds to the Orangeville Food Bank to continue making a positive impact in our community.***
As a small business owner, it’s important to continue advocating for Indigenous-led conversations, ensuring respect and authenticity in all our efforts.
Orange Shirt Day is a Canadian observance that takes place annually on September 30th.
It is a day to recognize and raise awareness about the history and legacy of the residential school system in Canada and to honor the experiences of Indigenous children who attended these schools.
The name "Orange Shirt Day" is derived from the story of Phyllis Webstad, a survivor of the Canadian residential school system. When Phyllis was a young girl, her new orange shirt, which she had been excited to wear on her first day of school, was taken away from her by school officials. This event had a lasting impact on her, symbolizing the loss of her identity, culture, and language during her time at the residential school.
Orange Shirt Day serves as a reminder of the harm caused by the residential school system, which was a system of government-sponsored and church-run schools that Indigenous children in Canada were forcibly sent to between the 19th and mid-20th centuries. Many children experienced physical, emotional, and cultural abuse at these schools, and the system had a profound and damaging impact on Indigenous communities.
Today, Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for Canadians to come together in the spirit of reconciliation, to acknowledge the harm caused by the residential school system, and to show support for Indigenous communities in their healing journey. It's also a day to promote awareness and understanding of the historical and ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. Many people wear orange shirts on this day to symbolize their commitment to these important goals.
I couldn’t be happier with the beautiful custom mug, t-shirt, and sweatshirt Stacey created for my best friend’s 50th birthday! The quality of the items are outstanding, and the attention to detail in the packaging made the gift feel extra special. Everything was presented so perfectly—it was clear Stacey put great care and thought into her work. She’s incredibly professional, creative, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. Highly recommend!
This was a perfect fit and had many compliments on the design. Everyone loved it.
Thanks Stacey for awesome job
The personalized PEEP Bunny was the perfect "little something" to give to my Great Nephew for his first Easter.
