Members of the Saskatoon Survivors Circle gathered in Civic Square on Friday for the raising of the Survivors’ Flag ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 

The flag was designed by a group of residential school survivors from across the country, depicting two children, honoring the ones who didn’t make it home.  

There are also seeds on the flag, representing a new future, and the Tree of Peace which symbolizes the people of the north. The center of the flag is an incomplete circle, symbolizing the damage done in the residential school era.
