9 June 2021 The discovery of 215 children buried at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops B.C. has caused an emotional reaction and a call for action across the country. The following are some reactions from local leaders. “The 215 children whose bodies were found never had the opportunity to grow up to have their own families, to have kids themselves, and to enjoy the opportunity to make their lives happy and fulfilling. I also feel very much for the parents and family members. There is absolutely nothing worse than losing a child. These 215 children all had mothers, fathers, often brothers and sisters, grandparents. All of whom were likely destroyed by the loss of their children.
