Episode Notes On Tuesday, Montreal held the fifth annual Every Child Matters March. Held on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, more commonly known as Orange Shirt Day, the march called on participants to reflect on the harms caused by Indian Residential Schools, and fight for a future in which every child matters. More than a thousand marchers met at Sir George-Étienne Cartier Monument on Parc Avenue, walking down and then along Sherbrooke Street West. They called on governments to make progress on the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s final report. A decade after publication, only 15 have been completed.
