A monument was unveiled outside of Regina as to commemorate the children who died a residential school on the site.
The Regina Indian Industrial School Cemetery, which operated from 1891 to 1910, has been designated a Provincial Heritage Property.
Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport, Gene Makowsky says the plaque commemorates the deaths of the children who were attending the school, and it acknowledges the impact residential schools had.
It is estimated there are at least 35 children from First Nations and Metis communities from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba buried there.
Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations Chief Bobby cameron says there is still a long road ahead for the healing journey, but he is pleased to witness this historic moment of reconciliation after the devastating legacy left by the residential school system.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
