A polyester flag of the Kitchenuhymaykoosib Inninuwug First Nations that consists of 3 horizontal bands, followed by yellow, blue and green. On the centre of the flag is a stylized trout outlined in brown with a line encircling yellow sun below the trout. There are 2 grommets on the left side banded edge of the flag.
This flag was given to the city by the 3rd World Canada Tour and Kitchenuhymaykoosib Inninuwug (K. I.) First Nations for a flag raising ceremony.
In 2012, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation (K.I.) and Productions Cazabon brought the 3rd World Canada Tour across Ontario building relationships for change between First Nations and Canadians. The tour went to Toronto, Peterborough, Tyendinaga, Kingston, and Ottawa.
At each tour stop the event commenced with a traditional smudge ceremony and a performance from the K.I. Youth Drum Group: Waking Spirit Singers. The documentary 3rd World Canada was introduced by special guests including Ontario Regional Chief Stan Beardy and filmmaker Andrée Cazabon. Afterwards, K.I. community leaders and film participants hosted a discussion with the audience and recognized local aboriginal artists. Local Outreach Projects were highlighted throughout the event and online to connect the audience to current reconciliation initiatives.
This tour was made possible with funds from the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ontario Arts Council, Rotary Club of Toronto, Wasaya Airways LP, Seeds of Hope Foundation, Rotaract Club, Social Capital Partners, Burgundy Asset Management, University of Ottawa, and Intercultural Dialogue Institute.
