His story and every child's story deserve to be heard. This was not just a mistake in our distant history. The last residential school in Canada closed in 1996.

Reconciliation must be our priority.

Please remember #ChanieWenjack today and all the children who never made it home.🪶😡💔🧡

This Canada Day, help move reconciliation forward by donating to the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. downiewenjack.ca/support-us
