Calls for Residential Commission Hearings in NWO

Grand Council Treaty #3 says it would like to see the Indian Residential School Truth and Reconciliation Commission hold at least one hearing in northwestern Ontario.

The new co-chairs of the commission were officially sworn in yesterday.

Grand Chief of Treaty Three, Diane Kelly says residential school survivors in the region want to put their experiences on the public record.

She adds that there were 11 residential schools in the Treaty Three area and at least one hearing should take place in the territory.
