Paper Cranes in Division 15

The Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba folded thousands of paper cranes when the initial 215 unmarked graves were found at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. As part of their learning about Residential Schools and Truth and Reconciliation, Division 15 students learned how to fold paper cranes. Every crane represents a hope or prayer for the children who didn't survive residential schools as well as the children who didn't survive residential schools as well as the children who did come home but were changed by their experience. Their goal was to make 215. They surpassed their goal and made 320 paper cranes!
