Friday, Sept. 30, 2022 - Every Child Matters Day Every Child Matters is an Orange Shirt Day slogan created in 2013 meaning that all children are important - including the ones left behind and the adult survivors who are still healing from the trauma of Indian residential schools. 139 residential schools were scattered all across Canada, 70% of them run by the Catholic Church. More than 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in residential schools in an attempt to assimilate Indians into society. An estimated 6,000 children died at the schools. There are an esti- mated 80,000 survivors in all regions of Canada. It was reported on Feb. 16, 2022, that more than 1,100 graves have been found since last spring. The latest reports as of June 9, 2022, are that there are 2,301 suspected unmarked graves, 150 confirmed human remains, excluding Saddle Lake.
