Giant Tiger and Indspire mark five-year partnership with new orange shirt
Who: Giant Tiger Stores Ltd.
What: The retailer has announced the launch of its fifth-year partnership with national Indigenous charity Indspire to create an exclusive orange shirt and raise awareness for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Featuring a brand-new design by Anishnaabe artist and visual storyteller, Emily Kewageshig from Saugeen First Nation No. 29, the shirt is available now at select Giant Tiger stores and online at GiantTiger.com.
One hundred per cent of profits raised from the sale of this shirt will be donated to Indspire in support of the new Giant Tiger Learning from the Past Bursary, supporting Indigenous post-secondary students pursuing studies in Indigenous Studies and Languages.
"We're proud to continue our longstanding partnership with Indspire, a charity that shares our commitment to creating stronger communities," said Alison Scarlett, head of PR, communications and corporate responsibility, Giant Tiger, in a press release. "Reaching more than $1.8 million raised through this campaign is an incredible milestone and a testament to what's possible when organizations come together around a shared purpose. Every shirt sold helps create greater access to education for Indigenous students while encouraging important conversations about truth and reconciliation."
Through the sale of the shirts, Giant Tiger has raised more than $1.8 million to date in support of the Learning from the Past Fund, funding bursaries for Indigenous post-secondary students pursuing studies in Indigenous languages and culture.
