There are effectively three main stops for Pope Francis while he is Canada this week \u002D\u002D Alberta, Quebec City and a brief stop in Iqaluit.
Most of his time will be spent interacting with various Indigenous communities, including issuing a formal apology for residential schools, rather than drawing massive crowds of the general public.
“Chay! With this traditional Huron word of welcome I greet you all,” John Paul II said in Midland. “Here the first Christians of Huronia found a “house of prayer and a home of peace.” In 1987, John Paul II returned to Canada to visit Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories, a stop that was supposed to happen in 1984 but had to be cancelled due to bad weather.
