The inaugural event was held in Williams Lake in 2023 to encourage awareness and action for
truth and reconciliation through sport. This family-oriented, catalyst event brought together
residential school survivors, band and community officials, indigenous and non-indigenous
spectators, and an array of sporting celebrities under one roof to cheer as one watching a
celebrity-style hockey game between ex-NHL/WHL/high-level players and an esteemed Orange
Jersey Project team.

Truth and reconciliation can be achieved through dialogue, interaction, and education. Our
mission is to create awareness of the intergenerational impacts of Indian Residential Schools.
