Every Child Matters
31-5-2021
We would like to take this time to acknowledge the heartbreaking discovery of the remains of the 215 children at the residential school in Kamloops. In recognition of this, the Hospital will lower its flags to half mast for 215 hours, from May 31 to June 8.
The residential school system is a tragic and traumatizing part of our Nation's history. Our hearts and minds are with these children, their relatives, and their communities, today and everyday. We all play a role in the healing and reconciliation process as we work through this especially difficult time, both as healthcare workers and as community members.
