Canada Day activities canceled in Saint John as we take time to reflect

The city of Saint John is devastated by recent news of the discovery of 751 unmarked graves at a former residential school near Regina. As a community, we continue to mourn with Indigenous communities and our country. On June 25, 2021, the flags of all municipal facilities will be half-masted.

The City of Saint John will join other communities across Canada in taking a break in solidarity on Canada Day. We encourage everyone to view this period as a pivotal moment in our history, and as a time to reflect – as individuals, as a community and as a nation – on our past and on the path we can take for a future. better future.

The City has canceled all activities planned for Canada Day.
