Orange Shirt Day

Originally an initiative of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School Commemoration Project, Orange Shirt Day events are designed to commemorate the residential school experience, honour the healing journey of survivors and provide an opportunity to come together in the spirit of reconciliation. 

Join us to be part of the discussion, including reflections from Jennifer Cox on the importance of truth and reconciliation in the legal profession.  We will also offer a free preview of the CBA's "The Path: Your Journey Through Indigenous Canada" web series and present a new resource for law firms and organizations: "Establishing a Reconciliation Response Plan".
