Lethbridge to honour Reconciliation Week

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The City of Lethbridge is honouring Reconciliation Week beginning September 26, 2022.

Reconciliation Week involves a series of events connected to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada on September 30, 2022. The event honours Indigenous people and commemorates the young victims and survivors of residential schools.

Reconciliation Week in Lethbridge will begin on the steps of City Hall on Monday morning with a flag raising ceremony. City Hall will also be glowing orange from September 29 to October 4, 2022 to draw awareness to how important reconciliation is within the community.

For those looking to help spread awareness, orange shirts are available at Opkaa’Sin Early Intervention Centre, and limited supplies will be available at the flag raising ceremony. Donations for the shirts can be made to Opkaa’Sin on the Canada Helps website.
