The TRC's closing event (Ottawa Closing Event or OCE) was held in Ottawa ON, on May 31 - June 3 2015 at the Delta Ottawa. The event began with a Walk for Reconciliation on May 31 2015 that saw residential school Survivors walk in solidarity with Indigenous peoples, TRC staff, and non-Indigenous Canadians in an effort to take a stand for better relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Statement gathering was offered through a number of sharing circles, sharing panels, and private statement gathering sessions. Highlights included an honourary witness ceremony, the release of the TRC's final report findings, and a full day dedicated to education. Other notable highlights included the planting of the Garden of Hearts in memory of the children that never made it home from residential school, which occurred at Rideau Hall on June 3 2015. The OCE represented the final event hosted by the TRC, in collaboration with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
