The following is a selection of Survivor stories drawn from the Our Stories…Our Strength video collection. We are grateful to the men and women who have shared their personal and often painful accounts of their experiences of residential school and its legacy. It is by sharing these truths that we can all continue to work toward understanding and healing.

If your story appears here and you would like it removed from the site or the collection, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@legacyofhope.ca
I was able to watch a few of the stories but I have not watched all of them. They are a powerful testament to the gift that the survivors have given us. How interesting.
