The Journey of the Baby Vamp: Honouring the Lives of the Missing Children from Residential Schools project is now displayed on the main floor of MacOdrum Library. We encourage the Carleton community to visit this powerful art project to commemorate and honour each First Nation, Métis, and Inuit child who never returned home from residential schools. The baby vamps will remain on display temporarily at the Library before their permanent installation in the School of Social Work.
