Emotions bubbled to the surface for many as a memorial pole for children who died attending residential schools arrived in Campbell River.
Many were moved to tears as a memorial pole honouring children who died attending residential schools made a stop in Campbell River for a blessing.
“Because the way it’s painted all black, that’s how I lived in a residential school. All in dark corners.” The memorial pole was blessed at its stop in Campbell River, before making its way on to Gold River, Nanaimo, Duncan and Victoria in the days to come. On June 20 it will be transported from Victoria to Vancouver by Coast Guard hovercraft to where it will be installed on Indigenous People’s Day .
