This year Canada Day is a day of reflection and grief. It is not a day to celebrate. Canadians love their country and we have many blessings- but we must be willing to look at our history and acknowledge the wrongs that were done.

1500 graves discovered over the last month or so. Many more will be uncovered.
As many as 25,000 children may have died.
Niagara Falls will be illuminated in Red & White to celebrate Canada and rotate to Orange to honour and support our Indigenous community.
Throughout Canada Day, the CN Tower will light up in orange in solidarity with and in support of Indigenous communities across Canada; there will be no light show
My heart breaks for our country, for the mothers and fathers whose children never returned, and most of all for the children who endured this hell. And I shed tears at my ignorance. This is what happens when we whitewash our history.
WE. MUST. DO. BETTER.
