Local residential school survivors will gather at Algoma University to
watch a televised version of Stephen Harper's apology to survivors of
the residential school system, Wednesday.
The government's formal apology for the abuse and mistreatment Native
Americans suffered under the state-funded Christian school system will
be issued in the House of Commons. A live feed will broadcast the event
to Algoma University, and other sites across the country.
Locally, Shingwauk Hall Residential School operated for about 100 years
before closing in 1970.
