The Vatican confirmed on Thursday that Pope Francis will still travel to Canada from July 24 to 29, despite ongoing health concerns over his knee. He noted the papal visit has the potential of becoming a "logistical nightmare" in the event elders are stranded at airports. NTI is working with Inuit Tapariit Kanatami (ITK) and other Inuit regions on a plan to facilitate travel for Inuit and speak with Pope Francis. ITK President Natan Obed told CBC News he hopes the Roman Catholic Church offers significant funds so residential school survivors can attend the papal visit.
