Hundreds gather at Tepee to honour lost Indigenous children
Poll
Yes, as much as possible
Yes, sometimes
Hatters turned out in the hundreds to the Saamis Tepee Thursday evening to pay tribute to the young lives lost to residential schools, to remember the inter-generational pain they caused and to express hope for reconciliation in the future.
People of all ages – Indigenous and non-indigenous alike – prayed, spoke their truth and wept as drummers drummed next to the 215 pairs of children’s shoes which filled the inner circle of the Tepee. Shoes representing the number of children believed to be buried on the grounds of a former residential school in Kamloops.

City Notebook: CCDA breathing new life as vote to kill it looms
Poll
Yes
The fate of the CCDA goes to the ballot box next week, with voting by the members of the downtown business association on whether to dissolve the near-40-year-old group that seems to have some momentous internal struggle at least twice a year.
But even a ‘no’ vote this week likely won’t mean the book would be closed on the City Centre Development Agency, which would still have to dispose of the Monarch Theatre.
That enterprise, which has been central to many of the squabbles over the years, stands as the most substantial, and really only, real property owned by the group.
Hatters can see the potential effects of up to a 1-in-1,000-year flood in a new provincial flood mapping study, but harder to discern are the effects of berms built by the city since major flooding in 2013.
Myriad flooding scenarios and even the migrating paths of creeks and the South Saskatchewan River over time are outlined in the new study, open now for public feedback from Alberta Parks and Environment.
However, local officials are stressing that maps, which show large portions of the community still flooding during even a relatively typical flood, use a technical process based on bare geography, not including man-made mitigation like berms, or the effects of dams controlling river flows.
