Welcome
Are you a former staff member of the Mennonite run residential schools?
Are you interested in joining an honest, ongoing conversation about the effects that the schools had on yourself, other staff, students, and the communities around them?
We invite you to spend some time exploring the resources below. You will find historical documents and personal testimonies as well as resources that will help you learn the context of Mennonite run residential schools within the broader residential school context. After reflecting on our involvement in the schools, a group of former staff organized to get together and unpack our experiences. If you’re wanting to get involved in the conversation about your role in the schools, please reach out and contact us.

Since the close of the residential schools, there have been a lot of newsworthy items produced, apologies issues, and resources developed.
We have compiled a selection of resources from different perspectives that will allow you to learn more about the schools, what happened since their close, and what we’re currently doing to address issues and to have open conversation about the schools.
