To celebrate Canada Day or not? That’s the question facing municipalities across Saskatchewan this July 1.
With calls to cancel Canada Day altogether in the wake of the horrific findings at residential schools across Canada first in Kamloops, B.C. and most recently here at home, near Cowessess First Nation some places are using July 1 as a day of reflection or reconciliation.
650 CKOM and 980 CJME spoke to numerous cities and towns across the province Monday to find out what exactly would happen in their areas this Thursday.
On Friday, Melville city council decided to postpone all Canada Day events.
Located about 145 kilometres northeast of Regina, Melville is about 64 km north of Cowessess First Nation and the residential school site where 751 unmarked graves have been detected.
