All are WELCOME!
Not eleven years ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada had estimated that more than 4,100 Indigenous children have perished due to “disease or accident while attending a residential school", yet we know that number is much much higher. Tragically, ongoing investigations have revealed thousands more unmarked gravesites near to, or on the grounds of Canada’s former residential schools.
Please join us on Wednesday September 30th in remembrance and to spread the TRUTH and to yell loudly that:EVERY CHILD MATTERS
