Event Speaker Andre Bear Carrying an Orange Flag at Kiwanis Memorial Park for Cancel Canada Day (Payton Zillich/650 CKOM)
Canada Day had a different feeling in Saskatoon for 2021.
People gathered at Kiwanis Memorial Park to support residential school survivors, those who did not make it home and the Indigenous community, as a whole.
The day-long event is called “Cancel Canada Day,” and was put on by Saskatoon’s Chokecherry Studios. Events began at 9 a.m. Thursday and will run until 9:30 p.m.
“We are asking the community to show support for Residential School Survivors & Indigenous Communities across the country by refusing to celebrate 154 years of colonial violence & genocide,” a release from Chokecherry Studios reads.

In 2008, Mr. Harper wrote that the government recognized the consequences of the residential schools policy were âprofoundly negative,â and has had a lasting and damaging impact on Indigenous culture, heritage, and language, also contributing to ongoing social issues.
Mr. Harper stood in the House of Commons to tell Canada and the world that the federal government was wrong in its efforts to forcibly remove children from their homes, and apologized for it.
