Orange Flag Raising - NDTR
UC Hill
With the inaugural National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) coming up on September 30, Western's Office of Indigenous Initiatives, in partnership with the President’s office, are observing NDTR with a week dedicated to awareness and education focused on Truth and Reconciliation while acknowledging the Indigenous grassroots observance of Orange Shirt Day. We begin the week with lowering the flags at Western and raising an Orange Flag. This gesture is out of respect to Indigenous students, staff and faculty as well as community members and local First Nations living with the grief and legacy of Indian Residential Schools.
