DIEPPE, NB — It was with great honour and respect that the City of Dieppe unveiled the permanent installation of the Mi’kmaq flag in its council chambers at yesterday’s public meeting. The initiative follows a dialogue aimed at reconciliation undertaken with Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Inc. (MTI).

“This symbolic gesture is an opportunity for us to honour Mi’kmaq culture, the historic partnership and treaties established with the Mi’kmaq people, and the struggles that Mi’kmaq communities have endured,” said Mayor Yvon Lapierre. “I would like to take this opportunity to invite our employees and all Dieppe residents to learn more about the history of Indigenous peoples, especially as we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” he added.

Chief Rebecca Knockwood of Fort Folly First Nation and members of MTI were in attendance.

“Dieppe City Council put words into action by deciding to fly the Mi'gmaq flag in its Council Chambers,” said Chief Rebecca Knockwood. “It's a sign of respect and partnership and we look forward to continuing to work with the City, learning from each other and working in the best interests of this territory."

On September 30, the City of Dieppe will observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to highlight the contribution and history of Indigenous peoples. The Aquatic and Sports Centre will be closed on Saturday, September 30 and City Hall will be closed on Monday, October 2.
