A face painter at work at the #PeoplesPicnic today at Queen's Park. A long line of people waited to get their faces done. #CanadaDay

"Our people are suffering," a community leader told us at Queen's Park at the #PeoplesPicnic today. North of Toronto, there are reserves without clean drinking water, she said. #CanadaDay

Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square has been transformed into an Indigenous cultural space for two days as the city honours the legacy of residential school survivors.
