We will be applying for grants to cover the costs of this project, and will not be able to move forward unless we are successful in obtaining the necessary funding. You can assist us by sharing your feedback about the proposed project so that funding organizations know we have our community's full support.

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.
