Behind the scenes of the removal of residential schools memorial from Parliament Hill
OTTAWA — The federal government had originally hoped to remove a Parliament Hill memorial dedicated to Indigenous children who died and went missing from residential schools months earlier than actually happened last year, according to newly released documents.
Hundreds of tiny shoes, stuffed animals and flowers began appearing around the Centennial Flame in front of Parliament’s Centre Block last spring, after the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Nation announced ground-penetrating radar had found the possible remains of about 200 children on the site of a former residential school near Kamloops, B.C.
Maybe they could put the items in a church and burn it down!

Officials in the US state of South Carolina say they will not pursue charges against a boater who rescued a drowning man, before shooting him dead.




Ottawa police say one man has been arrested and charged in connection with an arson at a Centretown apartment building last month, but there is no apparent link between him and the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protest that was ongoing at the time.
