Orange Shirt Day is being hosted by Surrey Urban Indigenous Leadership Committee, Skookum Surrey, and Fraser Regional Friendship Centre Association at Holland Park in Surrey, BC.
We are seeking for volunteers who can support with the distribution of coffee, tea, and bannock, as well as other general event duties and to help attendees with the event schedule.
Please email Ravina at the following email address, ravina.d[at]hotmail.com with subject line “Orange Shirt Day Surrey Volunteer.”
Surrey Urban Indigenous Leadership Committee's work takes place on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Katize, Kwantlen, and Semiahmoo First Nations. We recognize their connection to this land and acknowledge that we are newcomers to Surrey like everyone else. Our group, the Surrey Urban Indigenous Leadership Committee does not represent these land-based First Nations and we are careful not to speak on their behalf. Instead, we represent urban Indigenous people that have moved here from all over BC and Canada to make Surrey their home. Our focus is making Surrey a great place for Indigenous people living in the city — regardless of where they come from, their legal status, or their particular culture heritage. As we do this, we endeavour to live in a good way with the land-based First Nations that have called this land their home since time immemorial.
