The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada is in Thunder Bay today to listen to the stories from residential school survivors.
Commission spokesperson Alvin Fiddler says it's part of the healing for First Nations people
"A lot of people, myself included, look at it as an historic opportunity for many of the survivors, who have waited a long time to tell their story," says Fiddler.
The Commission was invited by officials of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation.
