The County of Huron are lowering the flags to half-mast to recognize the bodies of 215 Indigenous children found near a residential school in British Columbia.
The flags will remain in place until June 8th or 215 hours — one hour for each child.
Warden Glen McNeil said in a statement that it is important that we honour Canada’s First People’s nationally, and at the local level.
The gesture is being made in every community across the country in the wake of the discovery of a grave near the Kamloops residential school last Friday (28th) where the children were buried.
