Jan. 20, 2022: CBC – The government said it did not release the documents earlier because of third-party obligations to Catholic entities, including the Sisters of St. Ann, Sisters of Charity of Providence of Western Canada, Sisters of the Presentation and La Corporation Episcopale Catholique Romaine De Prince Albert.
The 11 narratives being released to the NCTR are for the following institutions:
- Assumption Indian Residential School (IRS)
- Fort Vermilion IRS, Grouard IRS
- Sturgeon Lake IRS
- Kamloops IRS
- Kuper Island IRS
- St. Mary’s IRS
- Mistassini Hostels IRS
- Kivalliq Hall IRS
- Fort George Anglican (St. Phillips) IRS
- Norway House (United) IRS
These new documents will be added to the narratives the NCTR has for 125 other residential schools. There are no narratives or surviving documents for the residential schools at Lac La Biche, Lesser Slave Lake, St. Augustine and St Joseph’s.
