Special flag honouring residential school survivors and thousands of children who died at the institutions raised in Ottawa

who died at a residential school – or soon after being sent home or to another institution. “Inconsistent record-keeping and difficulty accessing records” have created challenges to documenting all the children who died, the centre says on its website, and it expects that the number of children listed in the National Student Memorial Register to increase over time, with more research.

The flag will fly just west of Centre Block, near the Visitor Welcome Centre, until 2024, when it will go to a permanent home, according to a government press release. “It represents the spirit. It represents human beings,” he said. “This flag should fly for as long as these institutions were in place. And if that’s 150 years, then so be it.”
