Hello, I am Rayne Dallas a second-year transfer student at TRU in the Communications and Digital Journalism degree. I am excited to write informational stories about Kamloops Residential School not only for this course load but also because I believe that this is a time in Kamloops past that should be known and talked about in the present. I believe it is important that the community of TRU knows about the events that have helped shape this town good or bad, and knowing the history of not only the city but Canada as a whole is always good for its citizens. Throughout the course, I am excited to take a deeper dive into the residential school with its history and facts to bring to you truly compelling stories. Every town has its version of “tragic truths” but learning from them is the way that generations can grow from the past.
