Survivor's Flag Raising
On September 1, a group of employees and students gathered at the Fennell campus for the first flag raising of The Survivor's Flag to recognize Truth and Reconciliation. The flag honours residential school Survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. It will fly for the month of September, leading up to National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30.
