Legacy of Hope Exhibition: Where are the Children? Healing the Legacy of Residential Schools
September 23 at 8:30 am - September 26 at 4:30 pm
This exhibition spans over 125 years and contains photographs and documents from the 1880s to present day. Photographs, text panels and artifacts move the witness through the process of leaving home and arriving at school to school activities and being part of a classroom. It also includes a section on the children who never returned home as well as on contemporary role models and provides a wide range of perspectives. (Legacy of Hope, 2024)
