Vandals have already targeted a bridge with Every Child Matters painted on it to honour residential school survivors and those who did not make it home.
Tseshaht elected Chief Ken Watts said a working group of Alberni Indian Residential School survivors asked the bridge be repainted orange to remind visitors and the community of the residential school.
In a statement posted to Facebook, Tseshaht First Nation says survivors, community members and children from Haa-huu-payuk School were invited to help paint the bridge earlier this week.
