Vigil to Honour and Remember Indigenous Children - Canada Day
Live-streamed from Glebe-St. James @ 11am on July 1, 2021
On Canada Day, join the community of Glebe-St. James United Church (Ottawa, Ontario) at 11am for a Virtual Vigil in honour of the 1,143 children found and to remember the more than 4,100 children identified as missing by their friends, families, and communities. Like many, we felt the need for some sober reflection this Canada Day and invite like-minded people to join us.

The photographs scrolling below are of living memorials inside and outside of Glebe-St. James at Lyon and First in the Glebe: 140 orange shirts (one for each residential school in Canada) wait to stand in remembrance as more children are found.
