Amanda Dupuis and Michelle Omand outline a mural at the Discovery Centre on Wednesday. The mural image was created by local artist Cloie Gobeil as part of an art project that was begun at Prairie Hope School titled Tears of Truth. The project also involves creating a beaded curtain that is meant to represent the 2,800 named residential school students who didn’t survive their time in residential school as well as the 1,400 unnamed students who also died while attending the schools. Students visiting Truth and Reconciliation Week for educational programming today will be adding to the mural.
