The Whitecourt Indigenous Friends Society held its Orange Shirt Day festivities on Saturday, September 30, for National Truth and Reconciliation Day. There were many activities and performances at Festival Park, as well as stories from survivors of residential schools. Attendees walked from Festival Park, through downtown streets, and back to show solidarity. The crowd was a sea of orange, and many joined the walk as it happened. Once back at Festival Park, everyone joined for lunch before the performances started, which included World Champion Hoop Dancer Dallas Arcand.
