Georgian Bluffs has joined other municipal governments, as well as provincial and federal entities, in lowering their flags to honour the 215 Indigenous children whose remains were found at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. last week.
In a statement, Georgian Bluff says "Flags at Township facilities have been lowered as a sign of collective mourning of the remains of 215 children found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, BC."
"The flags will be lowered for 215 hours or 9 days - one hour per life of the children in memoriam. We honour the survivors of residential schools, their families and communities."
