Flag raised in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
In honour of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, a special flag was flown in front of the provincial legislature (inset) in New Brunswick. Emblazoned with the words “Every Child Matters”, the bright orange flag was raised on Sept. 30 in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples across Canada in remembrance of the children who didn’t return home after they were forced to attend residential and day schools, those who survived, and their families.
