And, most significantly to the issue at hand, families are disrupted to prevent the transmission of cultural values and identity from one generation to the next,\u201d reads the preface to the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.trc.ca\/assets\/pdf\/Honouring_the_Truth_Reconciling_for_the_Future_July_23_2015.pdf\"><span>report<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cIn its dealing with Aboriginal people, Canada did all these things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After the Catholic Church ceased operating Kamloops in the 1960s, the Canadian government briefly ran it as a day school until 1978. <\/span><span>Gordon\u2019s Indian Residential School, the last of the Canadian boarding schools for indigenous children, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadiangeographic.ca\/article\/not-envisioned-gordons-indian-residential-school\"><span>closed<\/span><\/a><span> permanently in 1996.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The process of surveying the grounds by Kamloops is ongoing, and a report will likely be completed in June.
