By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

The Aboriginal Healing Foundation will hold a day of commemoration for former students of Canada’s residential school system on Thursday, July 8, at a ceremony in Edmonton.

Two thousand former students, including many who say they were abused, are to meet at the Shaw Conference centre to share their experiences and hear about those of others.

Jose Kusugak, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami is to speak, along with other aboriginal leaders and Governor General Adrienne Clarkson.
