Vancouver, British Columbia: March 5

Remembering the Children: Aboriginal and Church Leaders prepare for Truth and Reconciliation

A Tour of Four Cities
stopping in Vancouver, B.C. on March 5, 2008

Senior aboriginal and church leaders are stopping in four cities this March to promote the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which is being set up as part of the healing process set out in the Indian Residential Schools Agreement.

The tour seeks to bring awareness of the TRC to the general public and especially the people of the churches. The Anglican, United, and Presbyterian Churches, in partnership with the Assembly of First Nations, are organizing the tour. Other stops are Ottawa (March 2-3), Saskatoon (March 9), and Winnipeg (March 10). The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, together with the Vancouver School of Theology, are sponsoring and hosting the Vancouver event.
