Since January 2022, the line received, on average, 121 calls a day. The day the Pope apologized, that number jumped to 277
before the Pope made his first address on Monday, we had seen about 125 people come to us in Maskwacis,” said Nola Jeffrey, executive director of Tsow-Tun Le Lum Society, a substance abuse and trauma help centre that offers traditional and cultural treatment in Lantzville, B.C.Terry Glavin: Papal visit should not obscure federal obligations to Indigenous-Canadians
Indigenous Services Canada said the federal government’s 24-hour crisis support line has received double the number of callers it usually gets since the Pope arrived for his penitential visit this week. On average, Fournier said The National Indian Residential School Crisis Line received 121 calls a day since January 2022.

She said Canadians need to think about how those who can’t let go of their pain can get support for the days, weeks and years to come.
