Surrey to Host Orange Shirt Day Events for Sept. 30

Surrey will commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30 with a series of community events, including an Orange Shirt Day gathering at Holland Park on September 29 featuring a drum march, drumming, dancing, and cultural sharing to honour survivors of residential schools and remember those who did not return. Leading up to the day, Totest Aleng: Indigenous Learning House and Historic Stewart Farm will host educational activities, while Surrey Civic Plaza will be lit orange on September 30, and the Museum of Surrey’s Indigenous Hall, developed with local First Nations, will offer exhibits for reflection.
