 As we continue to mourn the growing number of children being recovered from Indian Residential School sites across the country, we encourage all Listugujewaq to join our neighbors in Ugpi’ganjig and Campbellton for a solidarity march and ceremony. The march will take place on July 2nd, leaving Casino 88 at 5:15 pm and crossing the bridge to the Salmon. The ceremony will commence at 6:00 pm with an opening prayer by Residential School and 60’s scoop survivor Elder Roseann Martin, followed by an honor song with healing dancing done by jingle dress dancers Amanda Larocque, Kelsey Wysote and Mary-Jo Isaac. After this, Campbellton Mayor Ian Comeau will speak followed by both Chief Darcy Gray of Listuguj and Chief Sasha Labillois of Ugpi’ganjig. To end the ceremony, Elder Martin will speak on her personal experiences and will close off the evening with a prayer. 

 This event will be held rain or shine. Please wear orange in support of all Indian Residential School students. All are welcome.
