The Government House has announced a new addition to the Saskatchewan Residential School Memorial in Regina.
New interpretive panels have been added to help tell the history of residential schools in the province and are accompanied by metal silhouettes of children.
“By acknowledging and understanding our past, we pave the way for healing and reconciliation,” Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Don McMorris said. “The additions to the Saskatchewan Residential School Memorial are crucial steps in this ongoing journey.”
The panels were created in collaboration between the Office of the Lieutenant Governor and the Provincial Capital Commission, made by Pro Metal Industries, a 100 per cent Indigenous-owned company.
Both the panels and the silhouettes are installed in the pavilion near the memorial.
