The country considers the legacy of Canada Day boarding school
Canadians wear traditional red and white clothing on Canada’s National Day, wear orange, build monuments and participate in activities as part of the nation’s reckoning of the terrible legacy of aboriginal boarding schools.
After boarding schools in British Columbia and Saskatchewan found what appeared to be human remains, many special events usually associated with Canada Day were either cancelled or curtailed.
Cowessess First Nation said last week that ground-penetrating radar found 751 unmarked graves at the former Marieval Indian Boarding School shortly after the remains of 215 children believed to be found in Kamloops, British Columbia.
