The painting, created by Port Elgin artist Brent Henry, was unveiled Thursday morning as part of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Henry says he was asked by the Town to come up with the artwork.
He says the discovery of mass graves at these former residential schools serves as a reminder of Canada’s troubled past.
Saugeen Shores Mayor Luke Charbonneau and Saugeen First Nation Chief Lester Anoquot were also on hand to unveil the painting.
Charbonneau says the painting serves as a reminder to Council about how their decisions affects the community they live in.
There was also a ceremony at the Zgaa-biig-ni-gan (Southampton) Bridge later that morning in honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day.
