Orange Shirt Day Fund


Fund Objectives

  • recognize and honour Survivors for their strength and resilience
  • commemorate and memorialize the children who never returned home from residential schools
  • foster relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Manitobans
  • support activities aligned with relevant legislation and commissions
  • enhance understanding of the legacy of the residential school system in Manitoba
