The Prince of Wales says he will listen on the issue of the treatment of the indigenous community.
The Prince of Wales has vowed to listen to and learn from Canada as it starts a process of reconciliation with indigenous communities.
He said: "I know that our visit here this week comes at an important moment - with indigenous and non-indigenous peoples across Canada committing to reflect honestly and openly on the past and to forge a new relationship for the future." A national reckoning over Canada's legacy of residential schools was prompted last year by the discovery of hundreds of human remains in unmarked graves at former church-run schools. Indigenous children had been forcibly relocated to the institutions for generations.
