Pope Francis has left Edmonton's Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples.

The pontiff gave an address to church members about reconciliation and received several gifts.

He was then wheeled out onto the street, where he greeted some people lining the road.

He waved out the window of a white Fiat as it pulled away.

More coming.
