Apology with a splash
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) will be hosting not only a televised viewing of the Prime Minister's apology to the Aboriginal people with respect to their Residential school experience but will also be giving away free lunch to those who have survived this injustice along with their grandchildren, children and others. This will take place on June 11 at the Radisson Hotel, downtown Winnipeg. Gathering and lunch will be in the Provincial Ballroom at noon followed by speeches.
"Finally the Government of Canada is officially acknowledging the horrific abuses its policies inflicted upon our people" says AMC Grad Chief Ron Evans "Let us all come together to support one another at this historic and emotional time".
Check out this historic moment and while you're at it have a free lunch. It's a celebration of justice and change.
