City To Mark Truth, Reconciliation

 

This is a release from the City of Ottawa:



This Monday, September 30, marks the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day where Canadians reflect upon the experiences and history of First Nations,

Métis and Inuit communities in Canada. It is a day to acknowledge, reflect and learn about the injustices they faced through the residential school system and the ways it continues to affect Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

To honour this day, the flags at all City sites will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise on Monday, September 30 to sunrise on Tuesday, October 1. At City Hall, the Survivors Flag will also be flown at half-mast from sunrise on September 30 to sunrise on October 1, in front of the Heritage Building and on Marion Dewar Plaza.

Illuminations in orange are also planned for the Heritage Building at Ottawa City Hall and the OTTAWA sign in the ByWard Market.
