We receive emails after they are sold out of people looking for these shirts
Porter Creek Secondary School grade 10 students in the fashion Art School have released their orange shirt day designs and limited-edition t-shirts.
On Monday September 23, about 12 students of Porter Creek Secondary School gathered at Sports Experts in Whitehorse where they engaged in the process of making shirts from dying of the shirts to screen printing designs on the shirts.
The designs printed on the t-shirts were created by two First Nation students. Harlen Koyczan, a Tahltan First Nation grade 12 student said his cultural design represents the life cycle of salmon.
“The salmon represents the start and end of life. Also, I want to acknowledge the significance that salmon are in the First Nations culture. The salmon have provided food and a way of life from harvesting through multiple generations,” Koyczan added.
Speaking to CHON-FM, Kyla Greve, teacher of the Fashion Arts Design School, said their goal is to continue this project in other to raise more funds to the Community on Abuse in Residential Schools Society.
“Every year we get more and more people wanting these shirts. We receive emails like after they are sold out of people looking for these shirts. I guess our fund-raising goal of having more shirts every year and more people supporting the CAIRS. Our goal is to make money for them,” Greve said.
The Fashion Arts School has been running for four years. Students go through the process of receiving products at a storefront, doing inventories, pricing, tagging shirts, planning and creating merchandising display.
All proceeds are donated to the Community on Abuse in Residential Schools Society.
