Orange Shirt Day and the Residential School legacy
Premier Caroline Cochrane issued the following statement on Orange Shirt Day and the legacy of the Residential School system:
Phyllis Jack Webstat was six years old when she went to residential school in Mission, B.C. She lived with her grandmother who didn’t have very much money. Her grandmother spent what little she had to buy Phyllis a new outfit for school, one she got to pick out on her own.
