The federal government raised the Survivors' Flag on Parliament Hill today as a way to honour Indigenous Peoples forced to attend residential schools.
The Survivor’s Flag flies on Parliament Hill beside the Peace Tower, Monday, August 29, 2022 in Ottawa.
Several residential school survivors spoke about the significance of the flag, including Jimmy Durocher, a Métis survivor who attended St. Bruno’s boarding school in Île-à-la-Crosse, Sask. “Pause and reflect about the truth that still remains to be told and about the hard work that still must be done,” Scott said.
The flag was designed in consultation and collaboration with survivors, with each element of the design approved by the group that was consulted.
