Story: As #FortSask moves ahead with Canada Day events, we'd like to bring awareness to the complex nature or our festivities. While some of us are ready to celebrate, we must also acknowledge some of us are in a period of mourning relatives and ancestors. ow.ly/By0K50Fm1af – at Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta
