Blanketing Ceremony

Cataline Elementary school, with the help from The Orange Shirt Society & WLFN, was honoured to host their second blanketing ceremony where students gifted beautiful and personal blankets to residential school survivors. Cataline Elementary was humbled to welcome survivors, along with their families, to collect these blankets, while listening to the elders share their stories. Three classes, with the help of the Williams Lake quilters, designed and sewed blankets as an offering of warmth, care, and solidarity. Each stitch carried intention, while each pattern reflected the students' learning, symbolizing their commitment to recognizing the truths and honouring the legacy and paths walked by the survivors.
