On July 1^st, the Toronto Sign will be lit orange in solidarity with Indigenous communities across Canada, and official flag poles at City Hall will be flown at half-mast as people across Canada continue to honour the Indigenous children whose lives were taken, and as Canadians reflect on the tragedy of residential schools.

I hope that we can all take this day to learn more about Canada’s history and relationship with Indigenous communities, and consider how we can help advance truth and reconciliation. More information is available from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation: https://nctr.ca/.
