I have biological ancestors (grandfather and great grandmother) who both survived the residential institution system. Breaks my heart that children had to endure so much suffering. See link below for #ReconciliACTION ideas.🧡
Today we honour the lost children and Survivors of residential institutions, their families and communities. 🧡
