The Muskoday bridge had previously been transformed into a memorial with 215 pairs of shoes hung from the structure over Highway 3 following the residential school findings in Kamloops, B.C. Bear said it was a mockery that the individual who wrote the sign also chose to hang a pair of shoes. “Everyone knows its the symbolism that has been used for the recovery of hundreds of children’s bodies across Canada and we know there will still be more,” she said. “To me its disgusting that this individual, this male would hang these shoes.” Witnesses who saw the man hanging the sign reported his description and the vehicle he was driving to police. Bear said she wasn’t sure if the incident qualified technically as a hate crime and she was waiting to hear back from the RCMP.
