Reflection by Prof. Richard Budgell

Spring 2021 has been an odd season, in an odd year, for many of us.

Where normally we would be looking forward to the beginning of Montreal summer, and in this second pandemic year, the gradual loosening of restrictions – we were also following the deeply disturbing revelations from the coroner’s inquiry into the death of Joyce Echaquan.

While the inquiry was proceeding, on May 27th we learned about the discovery of the graves of 215 First Nations children on the grounds of a former residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia.
