TORONTO – Rogers Communications today launched a new commemorative t-shirt for the company’s 2021 Orange Shirt Day campaign in support of Indigenous communities across Canada.
“Over the past year, the Orange Shirt Day campaign has raised $100,000 for the Orange Shirt Society, a non-profit organization devoted to providing educational toolkits to schools to support teaching the history of residential schools,” reads a press release.
The new t-shirts were designed by Patrick Hunter, a two-spirited Ojibway artist, graphic designer and entrepreneur from Red Lake, Ontario, who “added to the original shirt design, including a new shoulder patch depicting two children’s moccasins to commemorate the thousands of children lost to the residential school system.”
The shirt is available on TSC from now until Orange Shirt Day on September 30. All proceeds will go equally to the Orange Shirt Society and the Residential School Survivors Society, an organization that Rogers donated $50,000 to earlier this year “to continue supporting those healing from the trauma left behind by the residential school system,” the press release says.
