Orange Shirt Day is an event that started in 2013 to educate people and promote awareness about the Indian residential school system and the impact it had on Indigenous communities in Canada. 

It is held annually on September 30 in Canadian communities with students and staff from academic institutions of all kinds and levels being encouraged to wear an orange shirt to school that day.
