🧡 Orange Shirt Day | September 30 🧡

Today, Rastin’s Pharmacy recognizes Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities across Canada.

Today is a day to listen, learn, remember, and reflect on the lasting impact of residential schools and the importance of reconciliation.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

Let’s wear orange, share in learning, and continue working toward a future rooted in understanding, respect, and reconciliation.
