Permanent residential school memorial planned for Langley park
Susan Cairns and Cecelia Reekie, a former Langley school trustee, with the 215 crosses bedecked with children’s clothes placed in memory of the Kamloops residential school victims at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum at 21559 Fraser Hwy. Langley on Tuesday, June 15, 2021.
Cecelia Reekie said the group would like to create Ewolemetes té Lalem, which means “a place of understanding,” in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum on Fraser Highway. Tens of thousands of Indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in the residential schools, where they were forbidden from speaking their native languages. The children were also subject to physical and sexual abuse, mistreatment, malnutrition, and disease. It is unknown how many died in the schools, partly because the children’s families were not informed when a child died.
