Canada’s Indian Residential Schools National Monument it needs to be a fair and model design process built on principles of justice, fairness, and equity that does a service to those who survived and honors the memory of those who did not. It cannot be compromised by bureaucratic ineptitude 3/

There must be zero tolerance for mistrust in process. This is essential. First Nations, Métis and Inuit people deserve that this memorial be selected, designed and built with integrity. @yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social @ncc-ccn.bsky.social

An example of a successful design is the stained glass window by famed Métis artist, @christibelcourt.com.
