Blackfish Design T-Shirts

We still have available for youth to adult sizes! Remember that these are designed and made by a local indigenous company Blackfish Design T-Shirts and all proceeds donated back to survivors and their families 🧡🧡

Here’s something that I find humbling.. the design I put out this year made it to not only our Chilliwack Kent MLA Kelli Paddon MLA but also our Premier!! Thank you John Horgan for wearing one of my shirts.

I couldn’t have done it this year without the help of some key folks.

So this week has been rough.. came down with Covid on Sunday and couldn’t be down at my friends shop to help with selling the T-Shirts. We couldn’t have done it without Deanna from Pink 'N' Blue Kidz help!! She was instrumental in getting out the shirts we did. We can’t thank her enough.

For everyone who came down and grabbed shirts to support, my heartfelt thank you to you all!

Please share any photos that you have taken with wearing out T’s!

We do have lots of Adult sizes left and will be working on a website that they can be ordered from, as well as having some in stock at Pink & Blue Kidz on an ongoing basis.

*Note - not the final draft of the design bill very close

If you have a few minutes, this video was made by IRSS some of their programs they run. I found out they only get about $15,000 a year in public donations. As OrangeShirtDay Society out of Williams Lake are the originators, I will be donating to them and to IRSS as they are both doing good works to help Survivors and their families to heal and cope with the atrocities they or their family members faced.

Thank you for your time,

History & Impacts of Indian Residential Schools in Canada A Presentation by the Indian Residential School Survivors Society on the History and Impacts of the Indian Residential School System in Canada. For more res...

Some times, some things come along that can truly humble you..

I started this little venture to spread awareness and get some donations for Residential School Survivors and their families so they could get the help they need. I wanted to ensure that we didn’t make money off the pain and suffering that Survivors and families had to endure. And to make sure we DO NOT forget the atrociites that happened in Residential Schools.

I’m so thankful to so many people for their help that enabled me to do this project. To my Friends and Family who shared my posts, directed folks to my FB page and supported me by buying my T-Shirts.

And a big Thank you to The Progress for picking up and running the story.. on the Front Page nonetheless.



Let’s never forget those souls lost, those that never came home. Those that couldn’t overcome the horrors they faced. I pray that all survivors and families can find the strength to keep going day after day!

I love you all.

Good evening,

I’ve been made aware that someone has copied my design. I did not give this person consent to copy my design. Looking at the design (I won’t share their design) you can tell it’s a copy. I made my design following the trademark rules of using “Every Child Matters” in the design as per OrangeShirtDay Org, moreover, all my proceeds above cost to acquire will be donated to them.

I reached out to the person and mentioned I was surprised to see that my design was mimicked. Furthermore, I hoped that they’re reasons for selling the T-Shirts we’re good with money going back to IRSS in some way.

I fully support spreading awareness and keeping those lost at the forefront of people’s minds and hearts. And honestly it’s a little flattering that I was copied. It hurts that she said she never saw my design though. To be lied to when I’m doing something to help, sucks.

Thank you for reading this. And mostly, Thank you all for the support. I have lots of T-Shirts still and have ordered some youth ones as well that I’ll post about in the coming days.

May the creator watch over and protect you and your loved ones

Lots of T-Shirts left in all adult sizes including up to 2XL.

Thank you for taking the time to read it.
