September the 30th is Truth and Reconciliation Day also known as Orange Shirt day, when the country recognizes and honours the children who never returned home and the survivors of residential schools.
There will be a special ceremony in Flin Flon to mark Truth and Reconciliation day with the unveiling of a piece of Memorial Art.
Steve Lytwin is the chair of Flin Flon’s Indigenous Reconciliation Committee and provides more details on this special event. " We are going to gather before noon and leave from Angel Avenue just outside the Friendship Centre at noon. We are going to do a walk from Angel Avenue on to Main Street and make our way to Pioneer Square. Then once we get to Pioneer Square we will have a little ceremony and we will have some special guests, a prayer, some traditional dancers and some drum songs and then we will unveil this project which has been several years in the making."
The Flin Flon Reconciliation committee continues to look for different ways to build reconciliation in all the different communities in the Flin Flon area and look forward to having the entire community come out to recognize this event.
