"Every Child Matters" screen printed orange tee shirt. Machine wash cold. 60% Cotton/ 40% Polyester Jersey

Toys"R”Us Canada is proud to donate $1 from every sale – up to $5,000 – of our Every Child Matters tee to The Orange Shirt Society. The proceeds will support reconciliation events and activities with the goal of creating awareness of the inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools on individuals, families, and communities, and will promote the concept of “Every Child Matters.”

By wearing an orange shirt on September 30, you commit to the enduring truth that every child matters – every day, and everywhere.

Phoenix (Wilson) Baapaase is a proud, two-spirit Anishinaabe student, author, pow wow dancer, and the creator of our Orange Shirt Day tee – a design that comes from deep in his heritage and his heart. He says:

I based my design on:

  • the sweetgrass braid – an Indigenous medicine prohibited by residential schools;
  • a circle – a symbol with no beginning and no end, which is important in Indigenous cultures;
  • children holding hands – they had only each other after they were torn from their parents as young as age two;
  • the dates – the first time a school boarded First Nations boys was 1831 and the last school closed in 1996

    My design is not intended to make others feel bad, but to raise awareness: that for 150 years these schools existed in plain sight, and that thousands of children died at the hands of those that were supposed to protect them.
