The replica of a 12-person canoe (seen here) was part of the day's 'Paddling Together' theme. Twelve people circled the canoe — four were residential school survivors — in a ceremony which "showed a meaningful way to represent healing, understanding, facing the truth, and creating harmonic relationships," said Gardner.
