Medical treatment supplies running low at the Vatican?
The Pope will be in Canada from July 24 to July 29 and will stop in Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit. The trip is focused on healing and reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people for harm caused by the Roman Catholic Church's operation of government-funded residential schools.
"We had zero consultation on his pilgrimage to ground zero on our own lands. Many survivors don't have the agency, money or even technology to attend the Pope's visit," said FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron in the release.
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commissions determined that 566 children died while at residential schools in Saskatchewan. It also made clear that those confirmed cases form only a "partial record." The actual death count is likely far higher.
In the past year, ground penetrating radar has detected unmarked graves at multiple sites of former residential schools, including 751 graves at the former Marieval Indian Residential School.
