The USask CI team was at the event in solidarity with the Indigenous Community by presenting a lion dance and Chinese instrument Guzheng performance. People from diverse backgrounds joined the walk this year. They wore orange shirts and cultural regalia to demonstrate their support to residential school survivors and the children who never made it home, to seek truth and reconciliation.
