The Kamloops Residential School that we see across the South Thompson River today was in operation from 1923 to 1977. The original school, built in 1890, burned down shortly before. Between 1890 and 1977, hundreds of Indigenous children passed through these doors. Our guide will take us through the chapel, dining room, kitchen, boys’ dormitory, and gymnasium, sharing the history of what took place at this school. Please be aware that this walking tour does include climbing up and down very narrow stairwells. As parking is limited, please arrange carpooling with other participants. We will meet at the monument in front of the Kamloops Residential School 15 minutes before our scheduled tour at 1:30PM. Please note that this tour will include difficult subject matter.
