National Day for Truth and Reconciliation recognized in the Battlefords
It was a time for coming together during the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in the Battlefords Friday.
The day started with flag-raising ceremonies at Town Hall in Battleford and City Hall in North Battleford.
“It’s a tremendous day of honour, and it’s somber as well, as the communities both Indigenous and non Indigenous come together to recognize Truth and Reconciliation,” Battleford Mayor Ames Leslie said.
He said it was also a time for people to think about the impact of residential schools on today’s youth as well as the Elders, and the 60s Scoop survivors.
