TRC Calls to Action: #82


Reconciliation
Commemoration

82. We call upon provincial and territorial governments, in collaboration with Survivors and their organizations, and other parties to the Settlement Agreement, to commission and install a publicly accessible, highly visible, Residential Schools Monument in each capital city to honour Survivors and all the children who were lost to their families and communities.

Winnipeg and Whitehorse are, so far, the only cities to install such monuments; it sounds like Edmonton has plans to build one, and other non-capital cities and communities have either built or plan to build memorial monuments as well.
