Understanding Orange Shirt Day

Accès

À propos

Indigenous educator Kate Dickson returns to Burlington Public Library to discuss Orange Shirt Day and its direct connection to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Each year, September 30 holds historical significance, acknowledging over 500 years of colonial oppression and discrimination against Indigenous people in Canada.

This no-holds-barred presentation will conclude on a positive note, outlining what we can do to change the narrative and stressing the importance of 'Every Child Matters.' Due to the subject matter, attendance is at the discretion of parents, but it is recommended that participants be 16 years of age or older.

Kate welcomes thoughts and questions in addition to the respect and energy attendees bring to the talk. Participants are invited to wear an orange shirt if they have one.

Burlington Public Library

Explore – Discover – Learn! That’s what Burlington Public Library is all about.

The Library belongs to everyone in the community and is free to join if you live, work, or go to school in Burlington.

There are seven library branches citywide: six full-service branches (Aldershot, Alton, Brant Hills, Central, New Appleby, Tansley Woods) and a small lending collection in the rural hamlet of Kilbride. Library service began in Burlington in January 1872.

Central Branch is the largest location and houses historical and special collections, a community makerspace, and a computer lab.

We look forward to welcoming you to Burlington Public Library during Culture Days.
