Trudeau visits B.C. First Nation after skipping invite on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
CBC
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will visit the Tk'emlúps te Secwe̓pemc Nation today — a little more than two weeks after failing to respond to an invitation to join the community for the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
Kukpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir and Trudeau are holding a joint news conference starting at 2:30 p.m. ET, or 11:30 a.m PT.

Trudeau will also speak with the nation's council, survivors of residential schools and other people from the community.
The Tk'emlúps te Secwe̓pemc announced in the spring the discovery of roughly 200 possible unmarked burial sites at a former residential school.
The nation invited the prime minister to attend its ceremony to mark Canada's first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30.
Trudeau did not respond to the invitation and instead travelled with his family for a vacation in Tofino, B.C.
