The Town of New Glasgow is hosting a flag raising ceremony to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. National Truth and Reconciliation Day runs September 30, while the town is hosting the flag raising on Monday, September 28. New Glasgow Mayor Nancy Dicks explained the town hosted similar events the past few years.
Mayor Dicks said Jonathan Beadle and Amanda Lorette, owners of the Mi’kma’ki Strong clothing line who are from Pictou Landing First Nation, will speak at the flag raising. Dicks said Beadle and Lorette are both involved in the Orange Jersey event for the Pictou County Weeks Crushers hockey game on October 1. Singer-Songwriter Emma Stevens will perform at the Pictou County Wellness Centre starting at 6, with a pre-game ceremony and remarks starting at 6:40, followed by the game at 7. The mayor encouraged residents to come out to both events.
