Join us for Orange Shirt Day to honor survivors of the residential school system, their families, and remember those who did not return. Hosted by the Surrey Urban Indigenous Leadership Committee (SUILC) & Skookum Surrey. This event will will foster dialogue and learning about BC's colonial history and its ongoing impact on Indigenous communities.
Hear compelling stories, watch Indigenous dancers and listen to traditional drumming while enjoying locally prepared Bannock and tea. Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on the legacy of colonialism and commit to the ongoing process of Truth and Reconciliation.

Walk with us in unity and reflection. The annual Orange Shirt Day Drum March will begin at SFU Surrey E building at 2:30PM. This will mark the start of our gathering as we walk and drum from SFU to Holland Park, together. Your presence and participation carry deep significance and we encourage you to participate.
Remember to wear your orange shirt – a symbol of hope, reconciliation and a commitment to a better future – to show your commitment to both truth and reconciliation.
Spread the word! We hope to reach as many community members as possible to foster a larger, more unified gathering. Tell your friends, family, neighbours and coworkers about the event. We hope to see you there!
