Generations Lost: Healing the Legacy of Residential Schools
Sep 27, 2021 - Oct 07, 2021
Algonquin College is pleased to welcome a national exhibit to its Ottawa campus to educate and inform its students. The Legacy of Hope Foundation’s display Generations Lost: Healing the Legacy of Residential Schools will be on display in in front of Nawapon, the College’s Indigenous Learning Commons located in the DARE District, C Building, from September 27 – October 7. Members of the College community who are on campus are invited to view the exhibit at their convenience.
The Legacy of Hope Foundation is a national Indigenous charitable organization with the mandate to educate and create awareness and understanding about the Residential School System. This includes the intergenerational impacts such as the removal of generations of Indigenous children from their families, including the Sixties Scoop, the post-traumatic stress disorders that many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis continue to experience, all while trying to address racism, foster empathy and understanding and inspire action to improve the situation of Indigenous Peoples today. The LHF supports the ongoing healing process of Residential School Survivors, and their families and seeks their input on projects that honour them.
