Don’t forget to wear orange tomorrow..

What an amazing an inspirational way to share women’s stories! Thanks to all the beautiful women who contributed to this project.

The Gander Women's Centre and KIRA worked on beaded orange shirts in acknowledgment of Orange Shirt Day which is held on September 30th. Orange Shirt Day is the day when we honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to Indian Residential Schools in Canada. Special thanks to the Mi'kmaq women who teach us these crafts and let us learn from them.
