Indigenous Services Canada earmarked about $30-million, while Crown-Indigenous Relations, RCMP and Global Affairs Canada spent around a combined $25.1-million
A family member of residential school survivors says the minimum $55-million price tag for Pope’ visit to Canada last year feels like another slap in the face for Indigenous people.
Crown-Indigenous Relations spent $5.1 million, the majority for a $3.9-million contract to broadcast the papal tour’s stops, as well as translation services into Indigenous languages and French. Campbell said it’s difficult to put a dollar amount on the harm residential school caused those who attended and the intergenerational effect felt now.
“Regardless, the logistical costs for the apology will never outweigh the price paid by our survivors and their families.” Some survivors and Indigenous people have said the Pope’s apology on Canadian soil was important to their healing and the process of reconciliation. Others said it fell short.
