Phyllis Webstad's personal story was the impetus behind #OrangeShirtDay. In a 2019 interview with MTS, she said honouring residential school survivors is "a little bit of justice in our lifetime for what happened to us. We'll never be fully healed, but it helps us to feel better about being in this world." Let's honour the memory of the 215 Indigenous children who never came home from the former #kamloopsresidentialschool #EveryChildMatters #IndigenousLivesMatter | The Manitoba Teachers' Society

Her grandmother bought her a brand new orange shirt to wear on her first day, but when she arrived at the Mission school, she was stripped, and her clothes were taken – including the orange shirt. “I didn’t understand why they wouldn’t give it back to me, it was mine! The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth noth
