In May, 2021, the remains of 215 children were found at a Residential School in Kamloops, B.C. We recognize that this is a triggering time for many Indigenous people across the province and beyond. We stand with Survivors, their families, their communities, and particularly with the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation during this very challenging time.
