Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc ‘not interested in apologies’ after Trudeau’s snub, leadership says

Leadership of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Nation said Thursday they are “not interested” in further apologies from the federal government after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignored the community’s invitations to visit on the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation last week.
