In a similar manner to last year’s acknowledgement, Strive will be recognizing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, 2022 as a statutory holiday for Strive Employees.Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30. Orange Shirt Day is named for the day’s founder, Phyllis Webstad’s experiences in the Residential “School” system.  The day has been used to honour the children who suffered as attendees at Residential “Schools”, and the intergenerational trauma and grief that resulted from those experiences.We would like to encourage all personnel to wear Orange on September 30 in honor of those who were lost, and the survivors, families and communities who continue to grieve.
