Reconciliation
Missing Children & Burial Information
75. We call upon the federal government to work with provincial, territorial, and municipal governments, churches, Aboriginal communities, former residential school students, and current landowners to develop and implement strategies and procedures for the ongoing identification, documentation, maintenance, commemoration, and protection of residential school cemeteries or other sites at which residential school children were buried. This is to include the provision of appropriate memorial ceremonies and commemorative markers to honour the deceased children.
As of March 2018, the federal government had not developed or implemented strategies to protect and commemorate residential school burial sites, although support has been voiced - and some action taken - by provinces, territories, and faith groups (such as the United and Anglican Churches of Canada) toward honouring this Call.
