The flags at Dauphin City Hall have been lowered to half-mast in memory of the 215 children whose remains were found at a former residential school in Kamloops.
Mayor AL Dowhan says the flags were lowered this morning and will remain that way for 215 hours.
Dowhan says the City wants to acknowledge that they're in the spirit of reconciliation.
"It's so important that we work with our brothers and sisters in the spirit of reconciliation because the residential school system was tragic to Indigenous people."
He also says that the city is lighting the Watson art centre up orange for 215 hours to honour and remember all lives that have been lost at residential schools.
