Tiny shoes in the Ardoch Community in North Frontenac

            Sept. 30 will mark the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation here in Canada  — an annual commemoration honouring the children who died while attending residential schools and the survivors, families and communities still affected by the legacy of the residential school system.

While out with my camera the other day I happened to stop to read the plaque in Ardoch that was put up 21 Aug 2004 to commemorate the solidarity between the Ardoch Algonquin First Nations and the Township of North Frontenac. At either side of the cairn was a little garden with shoes in remembrance for those who attended the residential schools. 

It is hard to describe what I felt reading the plaque that was put there as a result of the wild rice conflict and seeing those little shoes carefully placed in the two tiny gardens one on each side of the Cairn.  

Canon EOS 1DS Mark III Canon EF 70-200 mm f4/L at f6.3 ISO was 100.
