Commission Ends Hearings in Thunder Bay


Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission is moving on.

It spent last week in Thunder Bay gathering statements from residential school survivors.

Chair Murray Sinclair says the stories of abuse heard have many similarities

"They're generally stories about the kinds of experiences that people had," says Sinclair, "but more importantly they talk about the impact the time they had upon their lives as parents and grandparents."

Sinclair says the affects will be felt for many generations.
