Town Flags Lowered in Memory of Kamloops Residential School Children

To show our respect and honour the 215 children at the site of a former residential school for Indigenous children, the flags at the Town Office will remain lowered until Friday. We mourn the discovery of these buried remains and keep the survivors and their families in our thoughts and prayers.

A National Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected. Emotional and crisis referral services can be accessed by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1-866 925-4419.

If you are struggling, the Newfoundland and Labrador Mental Health Crisis Line can be called 24 hours at 1-888-737-4668. All provincial health help lines can be found here:
