MMIWG ribbons tied to trees again in Calgary after being thrown in trash
They were cleared from an area that is now being used as the Field of Crosses, which pays tribute to veterans leading up to Remembrance Day.
“Truth and reconciliation does not look like taking something of Indigenous Peoples and just throwing it away in the garbage, and I hope people, in general, get a better understanding,” she said. After the ribbon removal incident, Green is happy to report that her group has established a good relationship with the city and Susan Schalin, president of the Field of Crosses.“I’m really honoured that Susan, who is the president, acknowledged and took accountability that potentially some of her volunteers may have done this inadvertently, not knowing, and that’s acceptable,” she said.
