The legacy of Residential Schools

As our hearts and minds reflect on the discovery of 215 children buried at the Kamloops residential school, and the ongoing trauma that Indigenous peoples face, this list of resources on residential schools and anti-Indigenous racism will help inform our conversations.

We also recommend spending some time with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report and Calls to Action. 

A  Residential Schools Crisis Line (1-866-925-4419) is available 24 hours a day for anyone experiencing pain or distress as a result of their residential school experience.
