Orange Shirt Day Craft

Access

About

We will work with children from ages 5 and up to create and paint their own orange shirt. This project will be a joint program between the Chinook Regional Library’s Swift Current Branch and the Art Gallery of the City of Swift Current. It will also include sharing the story of Phyllis Webstad’s experience at Residential School and the meaning of Orange Shirt Day.
