Residential School Survivors Honored

A stained glass window in at Parliment Hill in Ottawa is shining light on the residential schools legacy.

On Wednesday, Kenora MP Greg Rickford hosted a ceremony to remember the history of Aboriginal Peoples and how far the relationships have come.

Rickford says the design of the window reflects on First Nations, Inuit and Metis all across the region.

Rickford adds that it had some personal significance to him, considering he was part of negotiations and the signing of the Residental Schools Agreement.
