Addition of new Indian Residential Schools to the SettlementAgreement

The institutions listed in this attachment have been requested to be added to the list of Indian residential schools recognized by the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. These requested institutions have been researched by Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada and assessed against the test in Article 12 of the Settlement Agreement for determining whether the institutions should be considered an Indian residential school. The decision about whether the institution will or will not be included in the Settlement Agreement is set out below, as well as the brief reason for the decision. If no decision is set out below, the institution is currently under review.

Please note that, although a decision may have already been made with respect to a certain institution, you are entitled to submit a further request for that institution. Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada will revisit its decision on a particular institution based on any new information or supporting documentation you are able to provide.
Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada will respond to all requests directly to the requestor in writing.

In order for an institution to be added to the settlement, Article 12 of the Settlement Agreement requires that the institution satisfies both parts of the following two-part test:

(i) The child must have been placed in a residence away from the family home by or under the authority of Canada for the purpose of education; and

(ii) Canada must have been jointly or solely responsible for the operation of the residence and care of the children resident there (e.g.
the institution was federally owned; Canada stood as a parent to the child; Canada was at least partially responsible for the administration of the institution; Canada inspected or had a right to inspect the institution; Canada stipulated the institution as an Indian Residential School).

This entire list of requested institutions will be posted shortly on the offical Settlement Agreement website:
