May 5 is the National Day for Awareness of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), also known as “Red Dress Day”.
This flag raising event is part of the Town's Community Flag Program.
The Town of Petawawa is interested in cultivating a community that is respectful, inclusive, and safe; where everyone has an equal opportunity to take part. The Town recognizes the symbolism of displaying flags as a visual statement which promotes an environment of understanding and mutual respect.
