The 2026 Every Child Matters Graduation Ceremony marks a historic milestone in Canada\u2019s ongoing journey toward Truth and Reconciliation. On Monday, April 13 at BC Place, this landmark event will honour the Class of 2026, the first students in B.C. to complete their K\u201312 education with Orange Shirt Day and Indian Residential School history integrated into their curriculum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 celebration is the first in a series of graduation events planned throughout Canada and is open to graduates, families, community members, allies, media and anyone committed to honouring this important milestone to witness this historic moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate, empower, and support students, the event will include a career fair and education expo, an artisan marketplace and graduation ceremony.

The Orange Shirt Society is partnering with school districts throughout B.C. to bring student representatives from each graduating class to BC Place. Community members, organizations, and partners are invited to sponsor a 2026 graduate and chaperone<\/a> to help cover transportation, accommodation, and event ticket costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
