Lanark County offices are closed today (Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025) to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The public is welcome to attend a flag raising at the Lanark County Administration Building at 12:30 p.m.
This day honours the children who never came home from residential schools, as well as survivors, their families and communities. An important part of the reconciliation process is to recognize this painful history and the continuing effects of the terrible legacy of residential schools.
The day also coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which is led by Indigenous communities to raise awareness of the intergenerational impacts of residential schools on children, families and communities. The orange shirt symbolized the loss of culture, freedom and self-esteem that many children experienced and reminds us that "Every Child Matters."
