A special ceremony was held at Northland College in Air Ronge on Friday in the raising of a reconciliation flag. The Board along with President and CEO Guy Penney noted with approximately 96 percent of their student body being of Indigenous ancestry this event reflected their commitment to reconciliation and the students which they serve. They added this is evidenced through incorporating tradition cultural events in their programs and through their recent creation of a cultural space to provide their students an opportunity to engage in traditional and cultural activities and ceremonies at each of their three campuses located in Creighton, Buffalo Narrows and La Ronge.

Penney says the flag raising ceremony symbolizes their commitment and respect to the importance of reconciliation going forward and also their commitment to the calls to action.
