Along with the afternoon events at Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park, the UHNBC Monday Night Drum Group is also hosting a Truth and Reconciliation Cultural Walk-N-Talk event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting from City Hall.
As the announcement was made with great emotion, so will the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation be recognized in Prince George on Sept. 30 at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park from 2 to 3 p.m.
“There isn’t an Indigenous nation, community or family which is not touched by the horrors that occurred in Canada’s residential schools between the mid-1800s and the early 1990s,” Logan said. “And we must realize before we can have reconciliation we must have the truth. The truth is getting out there and people are starting to realize what kind of effect residential schools had on our communities and it’s a chapter Canadian history that must never be forgotten.
“I share my family’s stories with my grandchildren and we cry,” Logan said. “And that’s part of the healing.” Logan said her uncle was the one that explained to her how a missing generation of children left parents bereft and grieving over the loss of those beloved children and how when the children returned home, no one knew how to help them heal or how to deal with their own trauma. They were all so lost in grief, she said.
