<a href="https://uwaterloo.ca/communication-arts/people-profiles/sorouja-moll">Dr. Sorouja Moll</a> initiated Bridge in 2016 to create a space for all University community members to learn about the crisis as they reflect upon their responsibilities, write
a name on red fabric, and tie it to the bridge between Environment 3 and St. Paul's University College. This year we are including orange fabric with the red in remembrance of the lives of the children and youth who perished at the hands of institutional violence
at residential schools. These local, regional, and national atrocities are profoundly and systemically interconnected. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
