The Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg unveiled a new keepsake design on Thursday ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The artwork on the coins was created in partnership with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and is an expression of Indigenous culture. One side of the coin shows a combination of First Nations, Inuit and Métis designs. The other side reads "Every Child Matters" in English and French with footprints facing counter-clockwise. The coins are meant to educate Canadians and spark conversations about the impacts of the institutions of assimilation, while instilling a commitment to reconciliation across the country.
