The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is on Monday, September 30, and the District of West Vancouver will be raising the Survivors’ flag on Friday, September 27.
The raising of the orange Survivors’ flag is a way to show support for Indigenous people, and to honour the survivors and intergenerational survivors of the Residential School system and its lasting effects. This is an important step on the journey of truth and reconciliation, and everyone is invited and welcome to attend this event.
Wear your orange shirt and join us to witness the raising of the flag at 9 a.m. on Friday, September 27, at Municipal Hall at 750 17th Street. Together we will stand in support of Indigenous people and to remember those who have been lost within their communities.
