The National Capital Commission is in the process of renaming the Sir John A MacDonald Parkway in Ottawa. Three City of Ottawa council members proposed the name change in the spirit of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples because MacDonald authorized the creation of residential schools when he served as Canada's first prime minister in the 1880's. The NCC announced Thursday the new name of the parkway will be Indigenous and the name will be made public on September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Also: guest view of $2.8 billion agreement between the federal government and B.C. Indigenous Band whose children attended residential schools as day scholars.
Guest: Chief Cadmus Delorme. Chief of Cowesses First Nation Saskatchewan. It is at Cowessess in 2021 that ground radar discovered what are believed to be 751 unmarked graves at the site of the former Marival Indian Residential School which operated from 1899 to 1997
