Here at Niagara Catholic we are committed to Truth and Reconciliation, guided by our Indigenous Lead and team.
Yesterday, Niagara Catholic raised the Every Child Matters flag at the Catholic Education Centre and at our secondary schools and elementary schools, then lowered it to half-mast in honour of survivors and those who never returned home.
At the gathering, our members of the Indigenous Team shared words about the importance of recognizing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and remembering the survivors of Residential Schools. The Catholic Education Centre also participated in a moment of silence, and a prayer.
Throughout this week, Niagara Catholic students will be learning about residential schools and participating in Truth and Reconciliation discussion.
We would like to thank everyone for their participation yesterday, especially our Indigenous Lead who facilitated the flag raising.
Together, we can make a difference.
