The City of Fernie is honoured to be joining Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi ‘it Administration for a flag raising ceremony on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

September 30th is a day to honour the children who never returned home, the Residential School Survivors, their families and communities, and the intergenerational impacts of residential schools.

Everyone is welcome to gather at City Hall to honour this day of remembrance and support truth and reconciliation. 

Everyone welcome and encouraged to wear orange.

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of 'Every Child Matters' incorporating Reconciliation and forging a pathway forward.
