Remembering the past while offering hope for the future, the
final day of the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) closing ceremonies on Wednesday, June 3
made it clear that the journey towards reconciliation in Canada has just begun.
The ceremonial end of the four-day TRC national event took place in the Governor General’s residence at Rideau Hall. Indian residential school survivors and their family members assembled alongside representatives of the parties to the residential schools settlement agreement including Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, leaders of other churches, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
