Today, we reflect on the tragic legacy of the residential school system, honour the children who never returned home, and the Survivors who carry their stories. As a nation and as a people, we pledge to build a future rooted in truth and equity. ow.ly/TCzX50X4hVZ #NDTR

Aujourd’hui, nous pensons à l’héritage du système des pensionnats, rendons hommage aux enfants qui ne sont jamais rentrés chez eux et aux Survivants qui portent leurs histoires.
