Canadian History
Our hearts are heavy and while we are happy to be at a place where we can start to face Canada’s past, uncover the truth and better ourselves, words are not enough.
We will be donating proceeds from this experience box to the Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS) in BC. This dedicated organization has been helping provide services to survivors and education to others for over 20 years.
