5786 Community Events All are invited to participate in Orange Shirt Day gathering on Sept. 30 The Town of Devon is excited to congratulate local resident Serenity Caldwell for creating the winning design for the Orange Shirt Day design competition that ran earlier this year. Residents were asked to show their commitment to Indigenous Communities, and support of residential school survivors by creating an original art design to be featured on this year’s Orange Shirts in Devon. Orange Shirts featuring the original, unedited design submission by Caldwell are now available to order for $20, with proceeds being donated to Maskwacis Health Services. Community members can order a shirt by emailing the Town’s Indigenous Engagement Coordinator at mwincentaylo@devon.ca. Shirts will be available for purchase and pre-ordered shirts will be ready for pick-up at the Sept. 30 Orange Shirt Day gathering.
