Description
September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Orange Shirt Day, in BC and across Canada, a day to honour the First Nations children who were taken from their families and forced to live at Indian Residential Schools. The Syilx Okanagan Nation Alliance has created a memorial monument to those children on the west side of Penticton. Metal statues of two children returning to their parents stand on this pedestal. At their feet, visitors have left children's shoes in memory of real children and to honour the resilience of the survivors. September, 2023.
