Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action Reminder

With the recent discovery of an undocumented mass grave at the Kamloops Residential School, it is important to remember the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Report. As we pass the 6th anniversary of the report’s release, it is disheartening to know these calls to action have been outlined for this many years, with little to no action taken.

Queen’s issues statement on Kamloops Indian Residential School burial site

That the bodies of 215 children have been discovered on the grounds of Kamloops Indian Residential School is deeply upsetting. The impact of this news is being powerfully felt everywhere in our university community, as it is more broadly across the country and abroad. No one can be unaffected, even if it is difficult to imagine the full pain and anguish of families affected, as well as of residential school survivors everywhere. But imagining, understanding, and empathizing with that pain is a critical step on the path to reconciliation.
