Iqaluit councillors don orange for truth and reconciliation

Iqaluit Mayor Solomon Awa, left, city clerk Brianna Longworth, Coun. Simon Nattaq, deputy Mayor Kim Smith, Coun. Sam Tilley and Coun. Amber Aglukark wear orange shirts at Tuesday’s council meeting. The shirts signify a commemoration for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which is Sept. 30. It’s a day to honour those impacted by Canada’s residential school system. All six councillors who were present, as well as the city staff in the gallery, donned the shirts with the words “every child matters” printed on them. “By teaching our teaching about this history, its impact and significance, we empower them to become advocates for change,” Aglukark said in a statement about the significance of the day.
