September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, when we recognize the
ongoing trauma caused by residential and day schools, and remember those who never
returned home, survivors and their families. Our thoughts are with our neighbours,
Neskonlith Lake, Adams Lake, and Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw and their Band
members impacted by these memories.
This statutory holiday honours survivors, their families, and communities, and ensures
that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a
vital component of the reconciliation process.
To mark the day, flags in the Municipality will be lowered to half-mast.
