Residents of the Kitimat area are invited to an event tonight to honour the victims and survivors of the Residential School tragedy.
Put on by the organizers of the Every Child Matters Memorial Soccer Tournament, the event is taking place tonight at the Riverlodge Recreation Centre at 7:00.
A similar event was held last Thursday at the Kitamaat villiage soccer field.
Orange paint will be provided for attendees who will then place their handprints on Peace Street, next to the field.
Hosted by the Haisla Braves, the tournament itself will run between July 1-3, and will feature at least 18 teams from across the northwest.
Organizers are still seeking sponsors to join the District of Kitimat, Kitamaat Village Council, Save-on, and more to help put on the event, and provide tournament amenities.

Men’s division opener: 3:00 pm, Friday July 1st @ Riverlodge Recreation Centre Soccer Field
