Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd, Councillors and County staff gathered for a flag raising to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Wednesday morning.

On September 30, we gather to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which coincides with Orange Shirt Day. ...As we raise the flag, we remember the countless Indigenous lives affected by the legacy of residential schools. This day is a solemn reminder of the importance of acknowledging our past, fostering understanding and building a future rooted in respect and healing.

Let this flag symbolize our commitment to truth, reconciliation and the ongoing journey toward justice. Together, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities, listening, learning and advocating for change.

Reconciliation is not limited to one day. It asks each of us to reflect on the truths of our shared history and to consider the actions we can take—individually and collectively—to build respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples.

As a community, we remain committed to listening with humility, supporting meaningful education and carrying the work of reconciliation forward in the decisions we make and the relationships we nurture.
