School district raises First Nations and Métis flags in gesture of reconciliation
Red Deer Public Schools took an important step on Wednesday towards reconciliation.
The official flags of treaties six and seven, as well as of the Métis people were raised at the division’s headquarters in downtown Red Deer, where they will fly permanently.
Board Chair Bev Manning spoke about taking a hard look at the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report and how the division could do their part.
