A monument honouring the victims and survivors of Residential Schools will be in Regina outside the RCMP headquarters through September.

“If you look closely at all the faces that are on that monument, no faces are smiling. They’re all in different degrees of grief,” he said.

Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, said the monument puts a huge spotlight on an ugly part of Canadian history, in which the Mounties have a role. “I have family that went through the Indian Residential School System.
