Flag currently being flown
The Every Child Matters Flag is being flown in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30. This day honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities who continue to be impacted by this legacy.
The flag serves as a symbol of remembrance, reflection, and a commitment to learning about the truths of Canada’s residential school system. Haldimand County residents are encouraged to take time to reflect on the experiences of Indigenous Peoples and to consider how we can all contribute to meaningful reconciliation.
Together, we honour the children, support Survivors, and reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation.
