The Township of North Dundas is doing its part to commemorate the tragic legacy of residential schools in Canada.
North Dundas Council passed a resolution last week in support of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Township staff and local residents are encouraged to wear orange on September 30 to honour survivors, their families and communities impacted by residential schools.
