The campaign will shine a light on Big Brothers Big Sisters Month and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
OXFORD - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford County would like to turn the town Teal and Orange!
September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, so the local agency usually encourages businesses to have teal decorations on display. Volunteer Recruitment and Engagement Coordinator Erica Hughes explains why.
"This is to bring attention to the need for mentorship, what we do, and the power that we can create with mentoring in our community."
However, Hughes says they have partnered with Two Row Creeations to also raise awareness about something else.
"This year we have included orange in recognition of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation at the end of the month."
National Day of Truth and Reconciliation always falls on September 30th, and it honours residential school survivors and their family members.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is offering free decoration kits for interested businesses and all you have to do is fill out the form online here. The kits will be delivered before September 1st.
