FORT WILLIAM — Fort William’s Honour Gathering was held by the St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School Survivor Project and SJIRS Survivor Council on May 23 in honour of Indian Residential School Survivors and children who never made it home.
“It’s an honour gathering and it’s in acknowledgement of the 215 that were discovered in 2021,” says Fort William Chief Michele Solomon. “This is the fifth anniversary of that date, so this is our day to commemorate that and to bring together our Elders and our kids and just acknowledge the impacts of Residential School.”
