“Known as our seat of truth, this orange seat will be a permanent reminder of the truth that must be told so that actions of reconciliation can advance,” said Sandra Masters.
As part of the Miyo-wîcîwitowin Day celebrations that have taken place in Regina Thursday in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a brand-new orange seat has been unveiled at Mosaic Stadium.
The seat is meant to honour those who never made it home from residential schools.
“Known as our seat of truth, this orange seat will be a permanent visual reminder of the truth that must be told so that actions of reconciliation can advance,” said Regina mayor Sandra Masters.
The single orange seat is located in section 531, row 7, seat 11.
“When we are at the stadium, whether it’s a Rider game or a concert, when we look at this seat we will be reminded of a truth that must be understood and reconciliation as focus on behalf of all residential school survivors and their families.”
Amongst the sea of green, the orange seat will never be purchased by fans, and will remain empty during Saskatchewan Roughrider games and any other event at Mosaic Stadium.
“Our seat of truth will always remain unseated and unsold. It will remain available for the spirit of those never got the opportunity to witness our world today.”
Masters hopes the seat is not only a reminder of those who lost their lives in residential schools, but also to honour those who continue to be impacted by the intergenerational trauma the residential school system has caused.
