Today at the UBC Vancouver campus, our community united for an Intergenerational March to commemorate Orange Shirt Day.
Led by UBC Faculty of Forestry and UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems (@ubcLFS), this event created a space for learning, reflection and meaningful support for the Indigenous community on campus and beyond.

September 30 marks Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It's a day to honour and uphold Survivors and Intergenerational Survivors of the Indian Residential School system, and to commemorate those who didn’t return home.
Take a moment to learn about the history and impact of the Indian Residential School system. Find details on events, including the Intergenerational March at UBC Vancouver, along with educational resources and wellness supports: bit.ly/4nqDIpw
