The Witness Blanket, a profound work of art & testimony is available for communities of faith to host as a visiting exhibit from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. This powerful national monument created by artist Carey Newman honours residential school Survivors.

This fall, The Witness Blanket will be on display at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Cannington, Ontario from September 7 to October 18, 2025. Admission is free, open daily from 12 noon to 8 PM (closed Mondays). 

In this interview, Toronto United Church Council's Janice Meighan speaks with Sharon Woodrow, a member of Trinity-St. Andrew’s United, about what moved her to take the lead in bringing The Witness Blanket to her community. We hope her words will encourage you to make the trip to experience The Witness Blanket exhibit firsthand or to consider hosting it in your community of faith. 

TUCC is honoured to support this exhibition through our Davenport Interest Fund.
