State of the Raven - September 29 to October 5, 2025
Orange Shirt Day
On Orange Shirt Day, held annually on September 30, people from all over the country are encouraged to take time to meaningfully reflect on truth and conciliation in Canada. Carleton encourages all members of our community to wear orange, reflect on the impacts of residential and day schools and seek out opportunities towards conciliation—today and beyond.
Visit Carleton Newsroom’s Orange Shirt Day website for stories, events and resources to recognize the experience of survivors of residential and day schools.
