Indigenous leaders remember Pope Francis’s visit to Canada, hope reconciliation efforts continue
The late Pope Francis visited Alberta, Quebec and Nunavut for his six-day 'pilgrimage of penance' in July 2022. During the historic visit he apologized for the 'evil committed by so many Christians' in residential schools. Former grand chief Mandy Gull-Masty, now a Liberal Party candidate for the Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou riding, recounts her impressions of meeting the Pope.
