The Right Reverend Rob Hardwick is cycling across Canada in the name of unity, healing and reconciliation.
Hardwick, who has served as the bishop of the Diocese of
Qu’Appelle for the past five years, knows about the often uneasy
relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada.
He says that his diocese, located in southern Saskatchewan, had the longest-running residential school in Canada.
“The pain of that, the pain of that history, is with us,”
Hardwick said. “The pain of so many people that have lost their culture
and have been abused in various ways.”
“This bike ride is a form of penance, in a way, but it’s also to try and bring reconciliation.”
