RESOURCES AND SUPPORT
As we set intentions for healing and honouring the missing children and unmarked graves of children of Old St Mary's Residential School in Mission B.C.., we acknowledge this is a reminder for many residential school survivors and their families of the hurt and pain experienced through generations of colonial laws and policies resulting in children being taken away from their homes and communities.
We encourage all who are experiencing difficulties, to please reach to your support network. Below is also a list of resources available for you.
