Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says no words can do justice to the children whose bodies were found in unmarked graves at a residential school in Kamloops.
She started her COVID-19 briefing today by expressing her sorrow for the 215 Indigenous children and the countless others who died alone, scared and far from their families in residential schools.
Dr. Henry pledged her commitment to changing systems and laws that continue to perpetuate racism that hurts Indigenous peoples in countless ways.
She added Canadians can't get stuck in the shame and grief of what was done to First Nations children and families, instead they must commit to taking meaningful action to uphold the rights of Indigenous people.
