We honour First Nations, Inuit, and Métis residential school survivors and their families and communities on this day.
It is essential that our community remain committed to reconciliation and ensure that the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools is never forgotten. We encourage everyone to participate in community events that include a flag raising, sacred fire, guided walk and Holistic Village.
