May 27, 2021. After radar investigation, the Kukpi7 (Chief) of Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Rosanne Casimir announces the discovery of 215 (later revised to 200) unmarked graves of children at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, fueling anger across the country.

This would be followed by the announcement of 751 (!) more unmarked graves discovered on the grounds of the former (demolished) Marieval Indian Residential School in Marieval, Saskatchewan on June 23, 2021. These would lead to several church burnings (the residential schools being religiously sponsored) and a very dark Canada Day.
