Fort McMurray Catholic Schools, 9809 Main Street, Fort McMurray, AB, T9H 1T7
A memorial was disrespected and vandalized over the weekend in downtown Fort McMurray. The Residential Schools memorial was more than hundreds of pairs of shoes and other memorabilia- it was a heartbreakingly beautiful tribute to those lost and those whose lives were forever altered.
They are our knowledge keepers.
They are our families.
They are our past, our present, and our future.
We all can do better. We all have a part to play in reconciliation.
