This year’s T-shirts for Orange Shirt Day bear a design by a local Indigenous youth.

Seneca Isaac’s submission was selected in a design competition held by the Turtle Island – Aboriginal Education Centre.

“We wanted an opportunity to highlight local Indigenous youth artists with our logo competition and Seneca drew a beautiful turtle shell that is reflective of our centre,” says Aboriginal outreach and retention co-ordinator Kat Pasquach. “We loved her drawing submission.”

The new logo is printed on orange T-shirts available for sale this month. Turtle Island has been leading the annual sale of orange shirts on campus with support from student groups in observance of the Sept. 30 Orange Shirt Day. T-shirts, toques, lawn signs, cookbooks, and buttons will be available to purchase at pop-ups — at the Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21 and 28, and in the CAW Student Centre on Tuesday, Sept. 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The proceeds will benefit programming for Indigenous students at the University:

• T-shirts $30
• Lawn signs $30
• Campus Community Cookbooks $30
• Toques $25
• Buttons, by donation

There are also shirts available for ordering in bulk.

“We have leftover shirts with our previous design still available,” Pasquach says. “We are offering these for bulk orders at $20 a shirt, with a minimum order of 10 shirts.”

They are available in limited sizes and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Purchases for bulk orders may be made with cash or by journal transfer. Email Pasquach at katpasq@uwindsor.ca.
