    Flag raising begins month of reflection

    The Brock community gathered to raise the Every Child Matters flag on Sept. 1. Flying on campus throughout September, the flag honours Indigenous children who were forced to attend residential schools and the resilience of Indigenous communities. Interim Vice-Provost, Indigenous Engagement Shelia Cote-Meek (left) and President and Vice-Chancellor Lesley Rigg raised the flag, beginning a series of events focused on remembrance, reflection and reconciliation ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30. More information about the events happening throughout September is available on ExperienceBU.

We acknowledge the land on which Brock University was built is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee (ho-din-anish-shonee) and Anishinaabe (A-nish-shin-aaabee) people, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today, this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit, and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
