Honoring History: A School's New Chapter

On October 3, 2025, Canada marked a moment of reflection and recognition by naming the former Muscowequan Indian Residential School a National Historic Site. This significant commemoration sheds light on the histories of Indigenous communities and the impact of residential schools. Calgary, home to a vibrant Indigenous population, feels this resonance deeply. It's a reminder of our shared history and the ongoing journey toward reconciliation. Once part of a network that affected 150,000 Indigenous children nationwide, these schools left lasting legacies. Now, the school stands as a symbol of remembrance and education. Reflecting on our past helps shape a more inclusive future for all Calgarians.

This comes to us from the Government of Canada. Get more info on this story at the source: https://www.canada.ca/en/parks-canada/news/2025/10/former-muscowequan-indian-residential-school-commemorated-as-national-historic-site.html Stay warm and reflect, Calgary!
