Residential School Testimony Continues in Cowichan Valley
DUNCAN - The stories are horrifying , but a generation of residential school survivors are ready to speak out.
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission has continued its tour of Vancouver Island offering a safe place to speak out in the Cowichan Valley. Today hundreds packed a First Nations Long House to support a group of former students who underwent extreme physical, mental, and sexual abuse inside BC residential schools.
One mans story brought the entire audience to tears when he spoke of repeated sexual assault inside a Vancouver Island residential school. The former students testimonial took an even more grim turn when he spoke of how the teacher also targeted his little brother. My bother didn't cooperate the now senior citizen told the Truth and Reconciliation Commission officials, so he ran towards the bedroom window and jumped out of it.
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are compiling a complete history of the residential school era in hopes that knowledge of the horrific events that occurred inside many of the facilities will ensure they never happen again.
The tour will now shift south to Victoria for a regional event next month.

Power to the People: The Douglas First Nation Story
Xa'xtsa, commonly known as Douglas First Nation, partnered with Cloudworks Energy, an IPP developer, to bring clean and profitable power to people. For a long time BC Hydro declined to provide power to the people of the In-SHUCK-ch Valley. Douglas First Nation capitalized on an opportunity to bring power to its people consequently plans are now developing to bring power to the rest of the people living in the forgotten In-SHUCK-ch Valley (3 hour drive from Vancouver). Currently, political debate is polarizing around 'for' or 'against' run of river power projects. There are costs to all development, however, here is one benefit hard to argue against no matter your political affiliation. Here is the story of how Douglas First Nation and Cloudworks brought power to the people.
