September 30 - National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

This day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

• The eagle to represent First Nations
• The narwhal to represent Inuit
• The beaded flower to represent Métis

Flags around Town have been lowered in their honour.
