Pembroke: The County of Renfrew wishes to express its deepest sympathies to the people of the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, and the surrounding communities.

The dark and heinous history of residential schools should never be forgotten. The trauma and suffering of those affected then and now must be acknowledged. We as a community of many peoples must stand together to acknowledge and recognize the terrible truths of this past and support the path to reconciliation.

“This is a tragic and devastating discovery; the pain and suffering this has caused is unimaginable,” said Warden Debbie Robinson. “We hope these precious souls can finally find peace, and we cannot imagine the pain the community must be enduring, but we share your sorrow, and we shall not forget. Locally, we wish to express our continued friendship and support to our friends and neighbours, the Algonquin People during this difficult time.”

The Canadian flag will continue fly at half-mast at County Municipal Buildings for the week of May 31st through June 4th to mark this tragic discovery.
