Date
Town offices will be closed in recognition of Truth and Reconciliation Day on Tuesday, September 30th.
On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we invite everyone to join us in this ongoing journey of learning, listening, and reflection. This day is a time for all Canadians to commemorate and learn more about the history and legacy of the residential school system. It’s a day to honour the resilience, dignity, and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors.
