Flags at Half-Mast for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Flags at all Town facilities are being flown at half-mast today in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.
The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville acknowledges this land is the treaty territory of the Williams Nations. It is also the traditional territory of other Anishinaabeg peoples, the Wendat, and the Haudenosaunee. We also recognize the contributions of all Indigenous peoples to this place and commit to a continued dialogue and greater respect for the land we have come to share. This recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples must also be clearly and overtly connected to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our community.
The Government of Canada is working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to advance reconciliation through delivering on the 94 Calls to Action. To learn more about the 94 Calls to Action and what more can be done, visit canada.ca/reconciliation.
