Orange Shirt Day 2025 Event Bundle + Free Resources

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Truth & Reconciliation Week is coming up quickly, and we’ve got you covered with free resources and our new on-demand event bundle!

Our Orange Shirt Day 2025 Event Bundle includes four on-demand Orange Shirt Day events, each featuring an Indigenous author and addressing the message of Orange Shirt Day in a child-friendly way.

Included events:

  • David A. Robertson: When We Were Alone
  • Nicola I. Campbell: Shi-shi-etko & Shin-chi’s Canoe
  • Andrea Fritz: Otter Doesn’t Know (Coast Salish Art Class)
  • Courtney Defriend: If Instead of a Person

Each event comes with a comprehensive resource package, complete with discussion prompts and no-prep learning activities, to help you make Orange Shirt Day meaningful this year.

Already have plans for this week? That's great! You will have access to all events and resources until the end of October, so you can continue the learning beyond Orange Shirt Day.
