The Township of Huron-Kinloss is acknowledging Canada's history is better understood through Truth and Reconciliation.
Because of the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at residential school sites in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, the Township of Huron-Kinloss has lowered the Canada Flag until July 2.
Mayor Mitch Twolan is encouraging residents to view this time as a critical point in history, and a time to reflect.
A National Indigenous Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those impacted.
Emotional and crisis referral services can be accessed by calling the 24-hour national crisis line at 1-866 925- 4419.
