Supreme Court Rules On Release Residential School Documents

The Nishnawbe Aski Nation is pleased the Superior Court has ordered the Federal Government to release documents relating to abuse at a residential school in Fort Albany.

Surviors of that school have called for the documents since they first found out they existed in 2003.

The ruling says the Government of Canada has to produce documents to claimants and survivors and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission relating to a 1990’s criminal investigation into abuse at St. Anne’s Residential School.

The Superior Court hearing took place in December, but the ruling was just released yesterday.
