Hotel Sask. unveils addition of Indigenous flags, painting by local artist

The Treaty 4 and Métis Nation flag are now positioned next to the provincial flags and Progress Pride flag at the Hotel Saskatchewan. (Mick Favel / CTV News) In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, the Hotel Saskatchewan unveiled a few new additions to their building. Hotel specialists and guests gathered for a ceremony held on the front walk of the hotel on Wednesday to reveal the inclusion of two Indigenous flags on the building. The Treaty 4 and Métis Nation flag are now positioned next to the provincial flags and Progress Pride flag. 'We felt it very important to raise the Treaty 4 flag and Métis Nation flag to show we [are] a welcome place for all,' Ashley Pelechytik, director of sales and marketing for the Hotel Saskatchewan, said. A piece of art created by Harley Sinclair was previously unveiled but will soon be installed at the front doors of the hotel. The painting depicts a Saskatchewan sunset.

(Mick Favel / CTV News) 'I wanted to create a piece that really reflects the vastness and that place we all call home,' Sinclair explained. 'I want that piece for people to resonate with and be caught in and feel that warmth of a secure warm place that they call home,' he added. The two endeavors were led by the Hotel's Indigenous Engagement Committee who were in planning for over a year. Communication with Sinclair was roughly a year before the reveal. 'To be able to partner with an up-and-coming Indigenous artist, and providing that opportunity, I think it's our responsibility as a business to create those pathways,' said Pelechytik. The painting will be installed in the near future. The new flags are now on display. Pelechytik said the Indigenous Engagement Committee has other announcements planned for the future.
