Compensation of up to $200K for abuse is 'fair and reasonable,' judge rules
|
Several federal Indian Day Schools operated in Kahnawake, Que., between
1868 and 1988. A class action settlement offers former students a range
of compensation between $10,000 and $200,000, based on abuse suffered
while attending the schools. |
The Federal Court of Canada has approved the settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the government to compensate thousands of First Nations, Métis and Inuit children who attended
federally operated Indian day schools.
There is 24-hour mental health counselling and crisis support available to former day school students at 1-855-242-3310 or by online chat at
www.hopeforwellness.ca. Counselling is available in English, French, Cree, Ojibway and Inuktitut.
