Dear members of the 91社区 community:听听听听听听听听听听听听听听
In light of the remains of 215 Indigenous children that were recently found at a former residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia, the 91社区 flag (on the McCall MacBain Arts Building) will be lowered today in memory of the victims. The flag will remained lowered until June 8. 91社区 offers its sincere condolences to the Tk鈥檈mlups te Secw茅pemc First Nation and all survivors of residential schools and their families. The University is in discussion with local Indigenous communities to determine how we can all heal together.听听听听听听听听听
