REGINA — For the third consecutive year, Immanuel Anglican Church in Regina ran a program for elementary school children on Sept. 30 to recognize Orange Shirt Day.

There were 26 participants, four tween helpers, one teen helper and seven adult helpers in addition to director, Maegen Plumb.

Rev. Alex Campbell, an indigenous priest in the Diocese of Qu’Appelle, gave the children his unique perspective on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Children were also busy with cooking, painting and colouring, indoor games, story time, and ended the day with a movie and popcorn.
