Tim Hortons to sell orange sprinkled donut to raise funds for residential school survivors
KAMLOOPS — Tim Hortons locations across Canada will be raising money for two Indigenous organizations in light of National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (Sept. 30) — and the idea was initiated by two Kamloops franchise owners.
It was spurred by the owners of the Tim Hortons located on Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc — just down the street from the Kamloops residential school where 215 unmarked graves of children were discovered.
From Sept. 30 to Oct. 6, 100 per cent of the proceeds from the sales of a special orange sprinkled donut will go toward the Indian Residential Survivor Society and the Orange Shirt Society.
