A group of Indigenous delegates set to meet the Pope in Rome later this month will have to wait a bit longer.
Due to the spread and uncertainty surrounding the Omicron Covid variant, the trip to the Vatican has been postponed.
Just last week, the Assembly of First Nations announced the 13 delegates who would represent them on the trip, initially scheduled for a December 18th departure.
Delegates had hoped to get a long awaited apology on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part in Canada’s Residential School system.
A revised date for the trip has not yet been announced, though the Vatican says they are continuing to monitor the situation around the new Covid variant.
