Weblog (Mod 2 – WL3)
http://www.residentialschoolsettlement.ca/english_index.html
This website contains the entire decision for the class action lawsuit in which the government and the churches were sued by survivors of the residential schools. The website also contains a claim form so people who were unaware or for hardship reasons can still file a claim. Currently, Mistassini hostels are the focus of the claims.
What makes this site interesting is that it offers monthly updates to the claims put forth so far. The following data is directly from the site:
| Update for June 5, 2013:
The Indian Residential Schools Adjudication Secretariat has posted updated statistics including details such as the amount of claims received and total compensation distributed from September 19, 2007 to April 30, 2013:
The update can be viewed at www.iap-pei.ca.
The next status update will be available on July 3, 2013.

The website also offers appeal forms to those who may need them. It also lists all the schools that applied to be a part of the process including the school I will focus on: St. Joseph’s.
Cariboo (St. Joseph’s, Williams Lake) St. Joseph’s Missions (Mission)
CARIBOO-ST. JOESPH’S
British Columbia Williams Lake Already Included in Settlement
Agreement
Identified as IRS #34 on CEP and IAP
I plan to use this to show the process the survivors of St. Joseph’s went through and to see if any compensation was given. This is all part of the documentation process of St. Joseph’s.
The formating on this one seems a little wonky when cut and pasted from my documents, must be due to the table…my apologies.
