Thank you for taking part in this small initiative to raise awareness, to commemorate the Residential School experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation.
With support and feedback from our collaborative partner, the Lower Fraser Valley Aboriginal Society, we will be directing the proceeds of our Feather Fundraiser to the Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS). The IRSSS is a provincial organization based in Vancouver with a twenty-year history of providing services to Residential School Survivors.
Thanks to the generous donations from partners, staff, and community members, we will be donating over $6,000.00!
The Indian Residential School Survivors Society began in 1994 as a working committee of the First Nations Summit. Their work includes assisting Survivors with the litigation process pertaining to Residential School abuses and in more recent years expanding to include assisting the descendants of Survivors and implementing Community education measures (Indigenous & Non-Indigenous).
