With the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation coming up, many Canadians are trying to get their hands on an orange shirt, to commemorate what was previously known as Orange Shirt Day. In an Instagram post earlier this week, The Hudson's Bay Co. said it is selling orange shirts with the slogan "Every Child Matters." An Instagram story posted on the Hudson's Bay account says that Phyllis Webstad's orange shirt was 'lost.' She also questions how the Bay represented the personal story of Phyllis Webstad, which inspired the Sept. 30 Orange Shirt Day observances that came before the newly established National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. In an HBC Instagram story, the retailer stated Orange Shirt Day "grew out of Phyllis's account of losing her new orange shirt on her first day of school."
