Congratulations to Canada's new Governor General, Mary Simon, on her appointment!

With a lifelong track record of activism & personal experience as an Inuk woman, it's clear she'll bring a fresh voice & needed perspective - truly a "historic and inspirational moment for Canada."

Our hearts break for this latest discovery. These cannot be called residential schools. Schools are places we send our children to be educated, respected and cared for. 1/2

[Women’s March Ottawa @OttawaMarch]

For those suffering - the Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line is available 24-hours a day for anyone experiencing pain or distress as a result of their Residential "school" experience or for those affected by these reports: 1-866-925-4419.

CW: violence against children, genocide & residential "schools."

We were honoured to attend today's sunrise ceremony in honour of the lives of Indigenous children lost to residential "schools."

The news from the past few weeks is heartbreaking, but not surprising.

This mornings sacred fire honouring Indigenous children will continue at Ottawa’s City Hall until 1pm today, Marion Dewar Plaza

[Women’s March Ottawa @OttawaMarch]

Take the time to educate yourselves. Listen to and learn from Indigenous communities.

We hope that thousands of families will finally get the heartbreaking closure that they deserve to mourn the lives of the children that never came home.

[Draw the Line @DrawTheLineON]

These times are challenging for so many members of our diverse communities

But there are supports

If you or a loved one need help, there are crisis lines available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Thank you to all Members who votes yes. Hope the PM does too! Too bad about ⁦@Min_IndServ⁩ and ⁦@Carolyn_Bennett⁩ abstaining- they should be championing this motion.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Yay! We did it everyone now- tune into Federal Court on Monday June 14-18,2021 to see if the government continues to fight First Nations kids.
