ATU Local 113 Executive Board members and the United Indigenous Council attended the flag raising ceremony for Every Child Matters, held at Hillcrest Complex today, as part of our ongoing efforts for National Truth and Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
The ceremony reflected on the painful legacy of Canada’s residential school system, the thousands of Indigenous children who suffered physical, emotional, and cultural abuse in these institutions. We honoured the lives lost and the survivors, recognized the intergenerational trauma that persists, and reflected on the role each of us plays in the journey toward healing and reconciliation.
ATU Local 113 stands in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples, determined to build a more inclusive and equitable society. We are committed to understanding the truth and to foster a nation where Indigenous voices are heard, their rights respected, and their cultures celebrated.
Local 113 recognizes the unwavering dedication of our United Indigenous Council, leading the way in our union, in our place of work, and in our community – creating greater understanding in the pursuit of justice, equity, healing and reconciliation.
Miigwetch.
