Today, we honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. 🧡
We remember the children who never returned home and recognize the strength of survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Acknowledging this painful history – and its lasting impacts – is a vital step toward meaningful reconciliation.
Flags at municipal facilities have been lowered to half-mast in recognition.
