As you will have by now heard, on Thursday, May 27 the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that preliminary findings from a survey of the grounds at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School have uncovered the remains of 215 children buried at the site.
In this short video, Bishop Anna reflects on this news and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.
This Sunday, June 6 here at Christ Church Cathedral and at Christ Church, Alert Bay, we will ring bells 215 times at 12pm representing each of the lives lost in a sign of love and respect. The Diocese of British Columbia invite your parish, if able, to do the same.
