Attend a virtual learning session on the Métis Experience in Residential Schools Research Project

Findings reported in a 2015 report issued by The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada stated that the Métis experience of Residential Schooling has been overlooked and that much is still unknown. The Métis Experience in Residential Schools Research Project seeks to learn more about those experiences.

Starting in February, the Métis Experience in Residential Schools Research Project team will host a series of virtual learning sessions to introduce the project and share how you can get involved. Sessions will be held on a regional basis, lasting an hour and with opportunities to ask questions to researchers. 

Virtual learning sessions are currently scheduled for:

Huron-Superior Métis Community (Region 4): https://zoom.us/meeting/register/SimacWFUSmCDWPVrwaH9zA

More sessions will be scheduled and announced on the project website at a later date.

Interviews will be held over the next several months. Know History, a firm specializing in Indigenous and Indian Residential Schools Research and interviews, has been hired to support this work.
