On August 13, 2019, the RCMP dedicated the heart garden to the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council and Kwanlin Dün First Nation, in honour of all residential school survivors and their families. This healing heart garden planting is now a special annual collaboration between the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, Ta'an Kwäch'än Council and the RCMP. "Working together planting the flowers represents our shared commitment to reconciliation. We are grateful to be able to continue to walk this path together. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated!" Staff Sergeant Jill McLaren
