Today is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools in Canada.

We honour Survivors, remember the children who never made it home, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry these experiences.

May we continue to listen, learn, and move forward with greater understanding and respect.
