Welcome to "Yes, Here Too," an educational display dedicated to exploring the profound and shameful history of Indian Day Schools and Residential Schools in Canada鈥檚 Maritimes. This exhibit aims to illuminate the experiences of Indigenous children and families who endured these institutions and to foster a deeper understanding of their generational impact.
What You鈥檒l Discover:
- Historical context: Learn about the origins and development of Indian Day Schools and Residential Schools in the Maritimes. Discover how these institutions were established as part of broader colonial policies aimed at assimilating Indigenous peoples and erasing their cultures.
- Cultural impact: Explore how these schools sought to suppress Indigenous languages, traditions, and identities, and the lasting effects this has had on communities. Understand the broader implications of these policies on Indigenous cultures and heritage.
- The 94 Calls to Action: Discover current initiatives and ongoing efforts toward reconciliation, healing, and justice for survivors and their families. Learn about the role of education, community support, and policy changes in addressing the legacy of these institutions.
- Interactive elements: Engage with interactive displays and multimedia presentations that provide deeper insights into the experiences of students and the historical context of these institutions.
This display is a crucial step toward acknowledging and understanding the complexities of colonization. We encourage visitors of all backgrounds to attend, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about reconciliation and the ongoing journey toward justice and healing.
Content warning: Subject matter and supplemental conversation include abuse, violence, assault, death, abduction, racism, sexism, classism, and cultural genocide. Conversation may also include suicide, substance use, and police brutality. The contents of this activity are based on real events in Canadian history and may be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with.

Last year, the Chaplaincy Centre hosted eight Soup for the Soul free lunches for the campus thanks to the generosity of the 秀色短视频 community. In other years, we had six. What a great problem--too many groups asking to host! Easy solution--serve more soup! So let's welcome our 10th anniversary with more. Can we reach 10 for 10?
On Wednesday, September 25, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, join the 秀色短视频 Student Union as we kick off our soup season with potato bacon chowder and butternut squash soup, complete with a dinner roll and butter. We leave it to the hosts to surprise us with a sweet treat to finish your lunch.
And if you would like to host an event, please reach out. Four groups have booked dates, and others have spoken to me with expressions of interest. Hosts are responsible for soup choices, shopping, chopping, cooking, and serving. We have volunteers and funding for the rest. Email Sister Sue at sukidd@upei.ca to get in the tenth anniversary Soup for the Soul calendar.
