OTTAWA — After a rainy night in Ottawa, the sun broke through Wednesday afternoon ahead of a ceremony to break ground for a national LGBTQ+ monument.
That was no coincidence, Albert McLeod told a crowd gathered under a bridge near the Ottawa River, or the Kitchissippi, as it's known to Algonquin Peoples.
The"Thunderhead" monument will mark historic discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community at the hands of the federal government, as well as societal injustices against the community.
