Federal Court approves Indian day schools class-action settlement

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.
