Info Session: Indian Boarding Homes Class Action

March 20 @ 12:00 pm 2:00 pm

Location: Elders Centre (4010 Si Lu Drive)

Join staff from the Indian Boarding Homes Class Action to share a meal and learn about the class action law suit and claims process.

The Indian Boarding Homes Program was created by the Government of Canada and placed children from First Nations communities and Inuit villages in other communities (usually non-Indigenous) to stay in private homes and attend school.

The Indian Boarding Homes Program began in the 1950s and continued to operate into the early 1990s.

This class action provides compensation to people placed in these homes.
