The Manitoba government will formally apologize in the legislature on Thursday to two men who were switched at birth.
Edward Ambrose and Richard Beauvais were born at the same hospital in Arborg, Man., in 1955, and were taken home by each other’s biological parents.
Ambrose was raised believing he was Ukrainian, while Beauvais was raised Métis, went to a day school for Indigenous children and was taken from the family during the Sixties Scoop, when Indigenous children were removed from their homes and put in foster homes or adopted out of their communities.
“I think it’s very important that we acknowledge what’s been done,” Northern Relations Minister Ian Bushie said Wednesday
