Orange Shirt Day

Wear orange on September 29, 2025, to honour First Nations, Métis and Inuit children who survived residential schools and those who were lost. Saskatchewan Polytechnic is moving our Orange Shirt Day events to September 17 - 29 to accommodate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation holiday.

Orange Shirt Day was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools. It is also an opportunity for Indigenous peoples, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope.

Contact or visit your campus Indigenous Students' Center for more information.

Campus Store Give Back Collection

The sale of Orange Shirt Day tee shirts is part of the Give Back Collection, a new initiative at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Campus Store to support our community. For Orange Shirt Day, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the tee shirts priced at $20 each will be given back to the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Indigenous Student Emergency Bursary, which provides emergency funds for students to meet urgent needs for essentials like food and housing. Tee shirts can be purchased in the Campus Store or online.
