My son reports to me that at his high school, they are prepping them for Reconciliation Day. The students were shown a video about it. I heard Tony use the words Aboriginals and Residential schools, but then say he didn't really understand what they were talking about. Living in China for most of his life, he had never had to deal with the issue. And he says he hasn't seen that many first nation people in his school. So why he asks, are they making it a holiday?
They didn't do this day when I was last in Canada over twenty years ago.
