On Thursday, April 23, several United Church of Canada staff and participants visited the former site of the Mohawk Institute Residential School. The site opened as a museum last year by the Woodland Cultural Centre, which is located next door in Brantford, Ontario. The group of 60 included staff from The United Church of Canada’s General Council Office, as well as the United Church’s Shining Waters Regional Council staff and members of communities of faith.
