Reflecting on Orange Shirt Day with Dr. Pam Palmater
Dr. Pam Palmater, a passionate advocate and voice on Indigenous issues, joins me to delve deep into the significance of Orange Shirt Day. As we mark its 10th official commemoration, Pam raises essential questions about its commercialization and how we should truly be observing this day. The Orange Shirt Day movement aims to raise awareness about the impact of the residential school system on Indigenous communities. By wearing an orange shirt, we show solidarity and commitment to ensuring that every child matters. Learn more about Pam’s advocacy and insights on her website.

With our increasingly sedentary lifestyles, understanding the risks and preventive measures is more crucial than ever. Dr. Siegal emphasizes the importance of early detection and the role of blood thinners in managing thrombosis. Stay informed by visiting Thrombosis Canada.
