On April 21, 2021, the Executive Policy Committee (EPC) supported the recommendation from the Riel Community Committee to address the historical context of Bishop Grandin's involvement in the residential school system. The Winnipeg Public Service was directed report back with a process for installing a second historical marker at the entrance of the Bishop Grandin Greenway, now known as Awasisak Mēskanôw Greenway.

The goal of the new interpretive panels is to provide a more comprehensive historical perspective and bring awareness to the truths of residential school survivors and their families, while also providing context to the troubling aspects of Bishop Grandin’s legacy, specifically his support for the residential school system.
