A commissioner on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission wants mandatory education about residential schools for students across Canada.
Marie Wilson was in Saskatoon last week to speak about the legacy the commission will leave behind when it wraps up with closing events in Ottawa at the end of May.
Wilson says she hopes the commission will inspire jurisdictions across Canada to include residential school history as a required course to graduate high school.
The commission has collected testimony from residential school survivors to create an official record of the abuse they suffered, and will submit a final report to Ottawa.
