On September 30th it is Orange Shirt Day and we honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada and learn more about the history of those schools.
In September 2020, Brandy Yanchyk was asked to film two survivors who spoke about their experiences in the documentary “Every Child Matters: Reconciliation Through Education” created for the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
Brandy filmed survivors Phil Fontaine in Calgary and Chief Wilton Littlechild in Maskwacis.
