The second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was marked in Ottawa through new traditions amongst survivors, their families and supporters.
It’s a difficult day for Shirley Quedent’s husband, a survivor.
Hundreds walked from Parliament Hill to LeBreton Flats on Friday, carrying a banner with the names of children who died within the school system. Former Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner, Marie Wilson, says this day is momentous, but there is work to be done. Flags throughout the national capital region, including at Parliament Hill, Ottawa City Hall, and city buildings were lowered to half-mast in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
