Strathmore lowers flags to half-mast

The Town of Strathmore lowered its flags to half-mast Monday, April 28, for the National Day of Mourning.

"The National Day of Mourning is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives, suffered injury or illness on the job, or experienced a work-related tragedy," wrote the town on social media.

Strathmore's flags were also lowered on Saturday following the death of Pope Francis, who had led the Catholic Church since 2013.

Flags were lowered at the Strathmore municipal building and the Strathmore fire hall.
