Join us for Orange Shirt Day as we come together to honour survivors of the residential school system, their families and to remember those who did not return. Hosted by the Surrey Urban Indigenous Leadership Committee (SUILC) & Skookum Surrey, the event will foster dialogue and learning about BC’s colonial history and how it continues to impact Indigenous communities today.

  • Hear compelling stories
  • Watch Indigenous dancers and listen to traditional drumming
  • Enjoy local Bannock and tea.

Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on the legacy of colonialism and commit to the ongoing process of Truth and Reconciliation.

Remember to wear your orange shirt – a symbol of hope, reconciliation and a commitment to a better future – to show your commitment to both truth and reconciliation.
Spread the word! We hope to reach as many community members as possible to foster a larger, more unified gathering. Tell your friends, family, neighbours and coworkers about the event so together we can spread awareness and inspire action.
