KITCHENER Reflection took many different forms around Southwestern Ontario for a very different Canada Day. The sacred fire at the Healing of the Seven Generations in Kitchener was put out for the July 1 holiday. The fire was kept burning for the past five days in honour of the children found on residential school grounds and those yet to be found. “We will be taking the embers from today and continuing a fire tomorrow to last until the last remains have been found of our children,” said executive director Donna Dubie. “It could be a couple of years.” Hundreds were in attendance at the Kitchener location wearing orange to remember the impact or residential schools and how it is felt throughout generations.
