Journalist plans to create new archive of residential school survivor stories — before it’s too late
April 15, 2026
A new project from award-winning journalist Connie Walker aims to create an archive of testimonies of abuse at residential schools before the accounts are destroyed in September 2027.
“It just made me feel like we should be doing whatever we can to preserve as many survivor accounts as we possibly can,” said Walker, who is a member of Okanese First Nation in Saskatchewan.
“There are 38,000 records of survivors that are set to be destroyed … and I think that a lot of people don’t know that this is about to happen.”
