Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing continued backlash over his decision to fly to British Columbia to spend time with his family on the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. The Native Women's Association of Canada says it is shocked that Trudeau, in its words, ``ducked out entirely'' from a national day set aside to reflect on the legacy of residential schools. The Prime Minister's Office says he spent several hours on the phone talking to residential school survivors. He also participated in a ceremony on Parliament Hill on Wednesday night.

A Saskatchewan First Nation says it has identified about 300 unmarked graves at a former Indian Residential School site. Earlier this year, Cowessess First Nation used ground-penetrating radar that discovered as many as 751 graves near where the Marieval school stood. Not all the graves were believed to belong to children. Catholic Church parishioners are thought to have been buried there, as well as members of neighbouring communities. In the months since, The First Nation has worked with the Roman Catholic Church, the RCMP and Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada to put names to the unmar

Canada's top doctor says safety data won't be the only factor public health officials and parents will have to consider when deciding whether or not to vaccinate young kids against COVID-19.
