Orange Shirt Day: Community Beading Workshop
September 24 , 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free
When Phyllis Webstad went to St. Joseph’s Residential School for the first time, she took with her a shiny new orange shirt that her grandmother bought for her. That shirt was taken away and never returned. It has become a symbol of the Every Child Matters movement. On September 30th, we remember and recognize the survivors of residential schools. The Perth & District Library is honoured to support this movement with a community beading workshop led by Shelley Bourgeois.
Participants will learn how to bead an orange shirt pin that they can wear in support of and to spread awareness of Orange Shirt Day. Please note, the beaded pins take 2+ hours to complete.
This program is free and open to 14+. Materials are provided. Bring your own snacks. Bring reading glasses if needed!
Donations are welcome to help cover the cost of supplies.
