Learn the meaning behind the phrase, "Every Child Matters." Orange Shirt Day founder Phyllis Webstad offers insights into this heartfelt movement. 'Every Child Matters' honours the history and resiliency of Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island and moves us all forward on a path toward Truth and Reconciliation. If you're a Residential School Survivor or an Intergenerational Survivor - you matter. For the children who didn't make it home - you matter. The child inside every one of us matters.
