Coming up: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Tomorrow, Sept. 30, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation — a statutory holiday designated by the Canadian federal government to commemorate the horrific legacy of residential schools in Canada. Dalhousie will be closed for a day of remembrance and reflection.
Dalhousie also plans to lower all its flags to half-mast and raise the orange ‘Every Child Matters’ flag. The flag will remain up on all Dal’s campuses through October as we honour Mi’kmaq History Month, which kicks off Saturday (Oct.1) on Treaty Day. The clock tower of the Henry Hicks Building in Halifax and Cumming Hall in Truro will also be lit up in orange light on the evenings of September 29 and 30.
Members of the History Department were sorry to learn of the passing of their long-time colleague, David Sutherland, and wish to share this obituary from his family.
