There’s a lot of talk about truth and reconciliation, but when it comes to following the calls to action, many still aren’t there yet. The Pas Huskies hockey team can proudly say they’ve taken a step in that direction by participating in the Orange Shirt Day Project.
“I saw a post on social media back in October 2022, regarding the project and wanted to help bring the message of Truth and Reconciliation through sport to our team and help educate anyone who asked about it,” said Huskies Head Coach Ernest Muswagon. “I applied to partake in this project for the team and I've sent the link orangejerseyproject.ca to others who have kids in hockey down south and hope their teams also applied to get the jerseys.
“The jerseys came from Keener Jerseys. The idea of this began with the Orange Shirt Society and the premier sponsor is Canadian Tire. Not only were we sent jerseys; we were also sent a book on Orange Shirt Day.
