National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Sept 30)

Orange Shirt Day Playlist

Orange Shirt Day was launched in 2013 to call attention to 165 years of residential school experiences (1831-1996). It is intended to raise awareness and recognize the harms of the past and acknowledge the intergenerational trauma lived by Indigenous peoples today. This day can spark initiatives to weave reconciliation into education throughout the year and the years to come, thus contributing to a more just society.

Learning Channels

Diversity and Inclusion

The NFB films in this channel tackle numerous subjects from diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Student will explore racism, discrimination, activism, intersectionality, community, resistance and activism, and filmmaking as documenting history. Students can develop a deeper awareness of the historical and contemporary experiences of individuals and communities who have been marginalized or ignored, and further develop their critical consciousness, to create a more equitable and inclusive classroom where each student feels they belong.
