IRSSS + Vancouver Public Library: September 2025 Presentations

IRSSS was honoured to attend a powerful reunion of Indian Residential School Survivors in Prince George, BC.

On February 14, IRSSS joined the Women’s Memorial March in Vancouver – our staff were on the ground, providing cultural and emotional support to attendees and offering access to traditional medicines such as smudging and cedar brushings.

The IRSSS 30th Anniversary Gala was a remarkable evening of connection, reflection, and generosity. Thanks to the incredible support of our donors, partners, and attendees, vital funds were raised to continue our work supporting Survivors, families and communities.

Thank you for helping us raise $25,492,38 for Giving Tuesday! This year, we did more than just exceed our $15,000 fundraising goal, we also achieved the most successful Giving Tuesday in our 30-year history!
