Flag Raising

The Town will permanently display the “Every Child Matters” flag on the flagpole in Rotary Harbourfront Park located beside the newly revamped seven feathers crosswalk. The flag permanently flies not only as a commemoration but also a commitment to remembering Indigenous lives that were tragically lost within the residential school system which spanned over 150 years, with the nearest such institution to Cobourg being situated in the Alderville First Nations Reserve. Cobourg is amongst few municipalities in Ontario to fly this flag permanently.
