Many Carbonear residents have been watching the unfolding of the unprovoked attacks on the Ukrainian people. Through technology and social media we are all connected regardless of geography, the inexcusable acts of violence and the displacement of millions of people have been horrifying to witness. Our thoughts and support are with the people of Ukraine. As a symbol of this support, we have displayed their flag during our meeting this evening.
Additionally, the Town of Carbonear Council, staff, and residents will show their support with the raising of the Ukrainian flag at the Pergola green space flag pole.
