A statement from U of T President Meric Gertler:
"The discovery of the remains of more than 750 people in unmarked graves near a residential school in the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan, has caused tremendous pain within our community and well beyond.
This is an incredibly difficult time of ongoing grief. Our thoughts are with the Cowessess Nation, the Secwépemc Nation as it mourns the 215 children whose bodies were discovered last month, and all the other First Nations who are mourning losses across Turtle Island.
U of T has an important role in bringing lasting reconciliation. We continue to build relationships with Indigenous communities to work towards this. We will commemorate this latest discovery by flying flags on our campuses half-mast."
The U of T community can access confidential supports 24 hours a day. Indigenous students through [email protected], and all students through the MySSP app or by calling 1-844-451-9700 / 1-416-380-6578. Staff and faculty can access the Employee & Family Assistance Program.
