Intergenerational March to Commemorate Orange Shirt Day
September 30, 2025 @ 11:45 am - 3:00 pm
Walking Forward: Honouring Youth, Carrying Hope
Join us for an Intergenerational March to commemorate Orange Shirt Day (OSD). The Faculties of Land and Food Systems and Forestry are honoured to host this event. This is one way the Faculties demonstrate their commitment to the UBC Indigenous Strategic Plan. Members of the UBC community, families and those in solidarity are welcome to participate. The March is intergenerational, and aims to be educational and supportive to the Indigenous community on campus and beyond. Educational activities will allow younger participants to connect with the original inhabitants of the land and plant a seed to continue these conversations about a difficult era in Canadian history at home.
All Day Offerings
We encourage you to stop by the open area outside the UBC Bookstore to purchase educational materials and t-shirts. The UBC Bookstore trailer will be on site from 10:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Food is available for purchase at the AMS Nest, or any of the restaurants along University Boulevard.
T-shirt proceeds are donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. If you would like to donate directly, please visit the IRSSS website.
Pacific Assistance Dogs Society training dogs and handlers will join attendees at the 1956 Main Mall, amphitheatre near the Ladner Clock Tower to provide support during the march.
