From across Lakeland, guests arrived at Bonnyville鈥檚 C2 facility to honour and remember the lives of murdered and missing Indigenous women and the stolen children of the residential school system.

In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Rocky View Schools (RVS) unveiled a temporary outdoor art installation in partnership with Blackfoot artists at the public school division鈥檚 Education Centre in Airdrie on Oct. 5.

鈥淲e just want the world to know how we feel about today and about the Residential Schools,鈥� said Stoney Nakoda First Nation member Jennice Clarke. 鈥淚 hope we can build a stronger bridge with the surrounding areas 鈥� Cochrane, Canmore, wherever. It hits very deep, especially to the survivors and us as children of the survivors. It does cycle its way back to us.鈥�

On a gloomy afternoon a crowd formed to watch the unveiling of a monument dedicated to every student that was forced to attend one of Canada鈥檚 139 Indian Residential Schools.
