Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be in Metro Vancouver today to discuss housing issues and the food bank.

Trudeau’s visit to Vancouver and Surrey comes after a tense visit to Kamloops on Monday.

Trudeau was met with angry chants yesterday as he attended the memorial for Indigenous residential school graves.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit continues with stops at several locations, including a visit to the food bank in the morning. He will also discuss federal housing policy, in an area that has seen some of the highest prices for homebuyers in the country, as well as the affordability crisis for renters.

This follows a day after Trudeau’s visit to Kamloops, along with Governor General Mary Simon, to mark the somber anniversary of the announcement of unmarked graves.

Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc was the first to reveal the results of a ground-penetrating radar search at a former residential school site, which awakened Canadians to the dark chapter of history.

The Prime Minister was invited, along with the public, to attend by Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, and Kúkpi7 Rosanne Casimir thanked everyone for their attendance and support.

Casimir said, "We thank and appreciate him for being here," adding that everyone must work together to move forward.

But not everyone welcomed the Prime Minister’s presence at the ceremony.

When the Prime Minister spoke at the large gathering, which included elders and survivors, some members of the crowd shouted, "You are not welcome here."

Trudeau said, "I had the opportunity earlier to speak to a number of elders, and I know for them it’s something they want to hear, and I share their thoughts, so I ask you and I hear your anger toward me, that’s okay but I 'ask you to respect your elders please'," adding, "Thank you, and I am sorry for your anger."

Trudeau also visited the Williams Lake community in March, where he announced an additional $2.9 million in federal funding for Indigenous peoples while exploring the site of the former St. Joseph Mission residential school.

In January, 93 unmarked graves were discovered, believed to be human burials. Like Kamloops, only a small portion of the area has been searched so far, and the process is expected to be extensive and take a long time.
