Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he and his family will spend Canada Day having conversations about why many Indigenous Peoples are not celebrating this country today.

He used his Canada Day message to outline what we can do to make the country a better place for everyone.

Some communities have cancelled or scaled back their Canada Day celebrations following the recent discoveries of hundreds of unmarked graves near former residential schools in BC and Saskatchewan.

This is a very unusual Canada Day.

Many festivities are cancelled or scaled back not only by the COVID-19 pandemic, but by the discoveries of unmarked graves at former residential school sites.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged those discoveries during his Canada Day message.

Trudeau says we can't change the past, but we can be resolute in confronting its truths in order to chart a new and better path forward.
