The flags at the Brandon Police Service headquarters were lowered to half-mast on Monday to commemorate the graves of 215 children unearthed at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
In a press release, Brandon police chief Wayne Balcaen said the flag was lowered to recognize and acknowledge the pain and grief felt for the children.
“Our Police Service and all our employees extends our deepest condolences to every person affected by this tragedy especially those of Indigenous decent and those affected personally by the trauma suffered (individual or generational) because of Indian Residential Schools,” Balcaen’s statement read.
“The Police Service continues to work with our local Knowledge Keepers and Elders on our path forward to Truth and Reconciliation.”
