Employers looking to engage with Orange Shirt Day this year on September 30 should see it as more than just a one-day observance, says one Indigenous educational leader.
For Linda Isaac, national director of education for reconciliation, equity, and inclusion at educational publisher Nelson, it’s a day to be worked toward and prepared for; while it may be tempting for employers to see this day as a checkbox to be ticked, she advocates for deeper, year-round commitments to learning and reconciliation within the workplace.
“We want, as Indigenous people, [for] people in Canada to know the truth about our history,” Isaac says.
