Ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation this Saturday, Canada Post has unveiled four new stamps to honour the survivors of residential schools.
The stamps were unveiled on Thursday at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario, established in 1972 following the closure of the Mohawk Institute Residential School.
The stamps feature archival photographs from four different residential schools, including Kamloops Residential School in Kamloops, B.C.; 脦le-脿-la-Crosse Residential School in 脦le-脿-la-Crosse, Sask.; Sept-脦les Residential School in Sept-脦les, Que.; and Grollier Hall in Inuvik, N.W.T.
These stamps are a reminder of the "fear, loneliness, pain, and shame" endured by generations of Indigenous children within these federally and church-established institutions, Canada Post said in a press release. 鈥淭he stamp issue serves as a vehicle for truth about Canada鈥檚 residential school system to help support the process of reconciliation and, ultimately, healing.鈥
Canada Post states this stamp release includes an Official First Day Cover and eight permanent domestic rate stamp booklets. The cover features the Mohawk Institute in Brantford, Ontario, the first school in Canada's residential school system.
