On September 30th for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we encourage all staff and guests that plan on visiting our facility to come dressed in orange shirts to help raise awareness of the very tragic legacy of residential schools, and to honour the thousands of Survivors. Additionally, all those who arrive at our facility with status cards will receive free admission on the day of September 30th. 2022.
