CAN (LET’S) has donated a grant of $1,500 to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS).
CAN (LET’S) recognizes that Indigenous people have higher rates of disability to those who are not Indigenous. This is, in part, due to the ongoing genocide that Canada is committing. The recent discovery of children’s remains at residential schools will have a mental health impact. We appreciate the work that the Indian Residential School Society does to meet the needs of those with trauma related disabilities and mental health issues.
IRSSS is a provincial organization with a twenty-year history of providing services to Indian Residential School Survivors.
IRSSS provides essential services to Residential School Survivors, their families, and those dealing with Intergenerational traumas. IRSSS Mandate: To assist First Nation Peoples in British Columbia to recognize and be holistically empowered from the primary and generational effect of the Residential Schools by supporting research, education, awareness, partnerships, and advocating for justice and healing. The Society assists Survivors with counselling, court support, information, referrals, workshops, and more.
