Episode Details

Thousands of residential school survivors in Canada face losing their testimonies, which were gathered under a settlement deal to help them get compensation for abuse. A Supreme Court ruling mandates their destruction by 2027, but many survivors dont know they can ask to keep their records. Groups worry this erases key proof of what happened at these schools. The Survivors Secretariat is teaming up with lawyers, journalists, and Indigenous communities to build a fresh archive, starting with five schools in Ontario. Survivors and their families can preserve their truths by contacting the Survivors Secretariat or the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
