'Every child matters': This young reporter shares a reminder to wear orange on Sept. 30

Wednesday is Orange Shirt Day an annual event held on Sept.30 to raise awareness of the impact of residential schools on Indigenous children.

In this week's segment of On Your Street, 10-year-old Paulusie Naluktuk reminds everyone to wear orange for the day, and shows his winning T-shirt design.

Paulusie's design was chosen as the winning entry in a contest put off by 1988 Designs, a clothing and apparel business located in Conception Bay South.

About 220 shirts featuring Paulusie's design were sold, with $5 from each sale donated to First Light.

Paulusie received $1 from each sale and he's been spending his well-deserved earnings on lots of new books.
