Grade 3 student Isaiah Bouchier placed shoes and a stuffed animal outside the Athabasca Provincial Building May 31 in memory of 215 Indigenous children after an unmarked grave was recently discovered at a former residential school in British Columbia. The impromptu memorial was shared on social media encouraging people to take shoes and other items down in the hope of having 215 items.
