A detailed map of the location of Residential Schools in Alberta with vignettes on the history of each location has been released by the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta, in time for this year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Along with that initiative, the body which is the oldest continuous Métis government in Canada dating back to 1928 is selling Métis orange sashes, with proceeds going to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government’s Survivor Healing Fund.

Albertans may view the map online.

More information is available on Otipemisiwak Métis Government’s website.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
