Survivors of residential day schools who attended during the day but went home at night can apply for $10,000 in compensation. The settlement also applies to the estate and descendants of day scholars who died on or after May 30, 2005. There are five N.W.T. residential day schools listed in the settlement.
The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has reversed a decision from the Law Society of Saskatchewan that would have temporarily suspended a high-profile lawyer.
At least 11 abuse compensation cases from a notorious residential school need review because their outcome may have been impacted by the federal government’s failure to disclose thousands of police and court records, according to a court-ordered report.
