Vancouver's Catholic Archdiocese and the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in British Columbia are set to sign a "Sacred Covenant" agreement on Easter Sunday. This follows the First Nation's discovery of over 200 children's remains at a former residential school site. The agreement aims to open a new chapter in their relationship and includes commitments from the church on proper memorialization for residential school survivors, information sharing about missing children, and providing "healing services" for family members of those who attended the school.
