Back to SearchThe City of Dieppe wishes to advise residents that the Dieppe Aquatic and Sports Centre as well as City Hall will be closed on Monday, September 30 to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
City Hall and Doiron House will be lit up in orange to honour the children who never returned home, as well as residential school survivors and their families and communities.
The Mi'kmaq flag will fly at City Hall from September 27 to October 4. The Mi'kmaq flag has also been on permanent display in Council Chambers since last year. The initiative follows a dialogue aimed at reconciliation undertaken with Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Inc. (MTI).
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity for employees and residents of the municipality to honour residential school survivors, who number in the thousands. For resources that will allow you to learn about the history of Indigenous people, consult dieppe.ca/september30
