A BC First Nation says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized for not responding to its invitations to attend a ceremony on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The Tk'emlups te Secwepemc says Chief Roseanne Casimir received a call from Trudeau on Saturday.

PM Trudeau's office says he discussed the path forward and told the chief he hopes to visit her community soon.

The prime minister has faced a deluge of criticism for spending Canada's first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on vacation with his family in Tofino rather than attending events marking the day.
