Tragedy in Kamloops

by

 

Message from the Indigenous team of CUPE 947 

Good morning CUPE 947 members.

There are no words to describe the tragedy that was uncovered in Kamloops on Thursday May the 27th 2021.

215 children became the truth and the teachers of the residential school experience. 

We are reaching out to you to ask that you be gentle with yourselves and others at this time. Rebecca McCool our Indigenous executive member and Taily Wills our 2nd vice president will be available to assist you if you need support. We understand this may affect people in different ways. Be well, take care of yourself and others. Some staff will be wearing orange shirts this Monday to honour these children, you are welcomed to do the same.
