A Winnipeg artist says she’s proud that her design for Orange Shirt Day will be worn by Canadians from coast to coast.

Brooklyn Rudolph — a member of Pimicikamak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba — had her artwork selected as part of a national campaign by Walmart Canada, with proceeds going to charities benefiting residential school survivors.

The painting the shirts are based on, Rudolph said, was inspired by her grandparents, who attended Guy Hill Residential School in The Pas.

“Both of my grandparents were residential school survivors,” Rudolph told Global Winnipeg.

“I really wanted to honour them and those who’ve been impacted by residential schools as well. I’m very excited to be here and share this meaningful campaign and the work that I’ve been doing through my creativity.”
