Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino hosted its sixth annual Every Child Matters walk in downtown Niagara Falls. The walk is held each year on September 30 to bring awareness, understanding and healing to the atrocities suffered by generations of Indigenous children at residential boarding schools across the United States and Canada for more than a century. Thousands of children were forcibly removed from their families and sent to the schools, where they were systematically stripped of their culture and traditional language, and where they were often the victims of violence and abuse. Hundreds of community members joined the walk in Niagara Falls.
The Every Child Matters Walk was held for Orange Shirt Day.
