What initially began as a way to recognize and remember those impacted by residential schools by placing shoes around the property as a memorial has evolved into something more.
“The first awareness event that we held was in memorial of the residential school children that were found in unmarked grave,” Mandy Bull, the Eagle Heart Centre executive director said.
“However, we noticed there was a greater need for all sizes of shoes. So, our community members and our partners were able to donate from infant all the way up to adult-sized shoes.”Community partners contributed nearly 150 pairs of shoes for the event for the public to take what they need.
