This stained glass window, designed by Métis artist Christi Belcourt, is permanently installed in Centre Block on Parliament Hill. “In 2008, on behalf all Canadians, Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered a formal Apology to former students of Indian Residential Schools, their families and communities that acknowledged the impacts of those schools,” AANDC's former minister John Duncan said in November 2012. “Today we continue on the path of reconciliation as we dedicate this new stained glass window. The window is a visible reminder of the legacy of Indian Residential Schools; it is also a window to a future founded on reconciliation and respect.” (PHOTO COURTESY OF AANDC)https://jgeorgeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/800px-chesterfield_inlet_mission_hospital_1995-06-24.jpgChesterfield Inlet Mission Hospital, 1995The Catholic Mission Hospital of St. Therese in Chesterfield Inlet, which contained 30 beds, was once the largest building in the Eastern Arctic.
