JOCELYNS THOUGHTS: 1. We kindly ask everyone to remember these Brave Hearts in prayer as they go to court. 2. May our Great Creator be with you. 3. Meegwetch for your persistence in seeking justice. QUOTE: The survivors of a Indian Residential School will begin their lawsuit against the Canadian Government in court next week. Back in 2007, the federal government agreed to settle a nation-wide class action with the survivors of abuse at the schools which were set up to assimilate Aboriginal children into European-style cultural norms. The Prime Minister also offered an official apology to survivors on behalf of all Canadians. At the time, approximately 1,000 survivors of residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador were excluded from the settlement and have been forced to take a separate class action lawsuit. Canada in turn, is suing the International Grenfell Association, Moravian Church and Moravian Union as third parties. The case will be heard in Supreme Court in St. John’s starting next Tuesday.
