University of Lethbridge invites community to virtual gathering to honour victims of former residential school
The University of Lethbridge invites students, faculty, staff and community members to come together at a virtual gathering to honour the victims of the former Kamloops Residential School.
WHAT: Virtual Gathering
WHEN: Friday, June 4, 2021, 10 to 11 a.m.
WHERE: Join us on Zoom at https://uleth.zoom.us/j/91693773491
The abhorrent discovery of the remains of 215 children at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops is a time for grieving and reflection. In addition to a moment of silence, this virtual gathering will feature a prayer by an Elder and an honour song. Please consider wearing an orange shirt, if you have one, which commemorates the impact of residential schools.
