The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, originally and still colloquially known as Orange Shirt Day, is a Canadian day of memorial to recognize the atrocities and multi-generational effects of the Canadian Indian residential school system. It occurs every year on September 30. Wikipedia
Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Event Length: 1 Day
Also called: Orange Shirt Day; T&R Day

Related to: National Indigenous Peoples Day
Significance: National day to recognize the effect of the Canadian Indian residential school system

Every Child Matters is a slogan and message used to honour the innocent lives lost. It symbolizes that every child is important, including the ones who lose their lives and the adults who are still healing from their difficult time at residential schools.

Every Child Matters Locomotive
On September 30, 2021, Orange Shirt Day and Canada's first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, CP proudly placed into service the “Every Child Matters” orange locomotive to commemorate the victims and honour the survivors of residential schools in Canada. The locomotive will raise awareness as it operates across CP’s network for all of us who see it to continue on the path of learning about Indigenous Peoples and their rich history and culture.
The special orange locomotive was proposed by 13-year-old Jacob Hoffer, an Indigenous youth, who in the summer 2021 wrote to CP asking it to consider painting one of CP’s locomotives orange. In September, Jacob and his mom, Darcy, were invited to CP headquarters in Calgary to participate in the unveiling of the locomotive he helped make a reality.
CP received guidance from the Orange Shirt Society (OSS) to develop the special livery for this locomotive, which proudly displays the OSS logo on the side of the locomotive’s nose. OSS is a non-profit organization that supports Indian Residential School Reconciliation and creates awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools.
CP is proud to support the efforts of the OSS to create meaningful discussion about the effects of residential schools and the legacy they have left behind.
CP’s orange locomotive was commissioned onto the network on Orange Shirt Day and the first official National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.
The very nature and purpose of Orange Shirt Day, and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, are to create an opportunity for Canadians to learn about and reflect on a dark chapter in the country's history and to commemorate the victims and honour the survivors, their families and their communities, as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Indigenous leaders.
The orange locomotive will serve as a constant reminder of the work ahead, but also draw on the inspiration that connected Jacob, CP and the Orange Shirt Society - “Every Child Matters”.

One of 12 Mercedes McLaren SLR that were spotted in Munich this year! There also were some Brabus SLRs, 722Ss, Roadsters and even two Stirling Mosses!!
But this one is a pure standard SLR.
It even drove behind an SLS AMG, guys! Now that's what spottin' in Munich feels like!!
Hope you like this shot. I invested some hours in the editing and I would say, this could be my best work until now. I don't really think my shots are pretty pretty, but in my eyes I get better each month :D
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE COMMENTS, FAVES AND VIEWS!!
'm not from here, but somehow, this place feels like it dreamed me up in Anastyle called Sonnen Stripes, an exclusive at Swank. It tells a story of a darker aesthetic—where mystery matters more than convention, and style pulses with substance. The Sonnen Stripes dress is made for LaraX, Erika, Kupra, Larax petite, legacy, bombshell, perky, maitreya, maitreya petite, reborn, and waifu. It als comes with stylish lace up boots made for GenX Classic/Curvy, Kupra, LegacyLarax, Nhumana, reborn, and starbody and a cute necklace.

My grandparents gave me a huge box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates for Christmas, and since they happen to be one of my favourite treats during the holiday season I couldn't resist the urge to pass on baking this week and showcase these with some Christmas bokeh!
Spent the morning cleaning up around the house and starting the annual purge of the basement, there's still a lot of work to do, but I did manage to make a big dent in the project.
This afternoon it was time to hit the bowling lanes with the family. A collage of images from that adventure can be found in the first comment.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

It has been awhile since I have posted to Photochallenge and I must say that my photography has suffered as a result. My intention is to be more active with the group this year! My very first photograph I posted to photochallenge 4 years ago was for a Macro challenge in which I photographed these very same watch gears. Since I was new to this type of photography and did not have a proper Macro lens I took the shot using the "poor mans macro" technique (my first time trying the technique). For me, photochallenge was not solely about the photograph, it was about the research and the information I learned as a result of the challenge. So for my comeback photo I thought it would be significant to "redo" that first photo with all the knowledge and experience I gained since first joining photochallenge and being able to now use a proper Macro lens, since it was the weekly challenges of this group that helped me identify my photographic style and also influence the type of gear I have invested in over the years. I would like to thank Jeanie and Eric for continuing the challenges and everyone else who is kind enough to donate their time to the group! (If interested in viewing the "original" photo, it can be found at the bottom of my feed).

how much in advance you get yourself to the spot from which you are going to photograph fireworks, there will always be a Jan Koller who will arrive exactly one minute before the start of the show and will stand right in front of you.
Apart from death, taxes and Neil Robertson winning at least one snooker tournament per season, that is the only certainty we have got left in life.

'Cause I want you to hold me now
Nothing else matters
It's just the two of us
And if it all falls down
Nothing else matters
I know we're strong enough
I'm not giving up

Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah

I was driving out of Kananaskis country (lots of trees) when I noticed that cloud. As I left the forest, and entered the rolling hills, that cloud grew bigger and bigger. I snapped a few pictures and then embraced myself as I drove back home, hidden somewhere in that mess. Needless to say, this was amazing to witness and an honour to capture.
I've learned that it doesn't matter how big your house is, apparently, it is not big enough. ^_^
Thank you everyone for the appreciation, time and comments!!

"My work is loving the world.
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird—
equal seekers of sweetness.
Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums.
Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.
Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still half-perfect? Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished." ~ Mary Oliver
I can't tell you how much I LOVE this quote. Anyone who knows me would see me in that second verse ... lol, I'm no fashion plate ... just get me to the wildlife and outdoors!
Have a great day ... these baby elk charmed me so much as we saw many of them. These particular ones were in Yellowstone.

I love them!
They were laughing so hard...all because I was laying on the ground to get this shot... apparently...in doggy poo! (all of which they knew, but didn't tell me until much later!) Glad I could make their day a little happier!

I thought the title rather clever, however, I would be interested if anyone out there found it disrespectful toward the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Surtout une photo inattendue, car j'étais en train de travailler la compo sur les passants de l'autre côté de la rue...
Le monsieur au premier plan est passé soudainement dans le champ, mais au bon moment pour faire une photo insolite...
Je ne saurai jamais ce qu'aurait été ma photo sans lui (ca semblait prometteur 😊) mais celle-ci est aussi intéressante...
Merci à lui !
