The recovery of unmarked burial sites at former residential schools is a reminder of the shameful legacy of residential schools and colonialism. 
We must ensure continued support to communities as they respond to and heal from intergenerational trauma and the ongoing impacts of residential schools. The #GC is committed to undertaking this work in partnership with Indigenous peoples and communities.
To support the appointment of a Special Interlocutor who will work collaboratively with Indigenous peoples and make recommendations for changes to strengthen federal laws and practices to protect & preserve unmarked burial sites, #Budget2022 proposes $10.4 million over two years.
We hope to make an announcement soon on who this person will be and when their important work will begin.
We know this is a difficult subject. For those who need support, the Residential School Crisis Line is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day at 1-866-925-4419.
