Winnipeg Free Press – Legacy of Denial – Glimpse Into Residential School System

Please follow the link below to an article from the Winnipeg Free Press. It describes Manitoba’s history of doing little to stop residential schools despite ‘persistent and consistent’ complaints. As you will read in the article, the psychiatrist Dr. Phil Katz, who among his many accomplishments was a past president of the MPA, wrote the government and media pursuing change, and was among those ignored.

As a profession we can learn from his example, and commit ourselves to fighting against these horrors, and taking part in the movement for truth and reconciliation.
