Saskatchewan apologizes, agrees to pay $40M to Île-à-la-Crosse residential school survivors

The $40 million settlement follows decades of legal battles over exclusion from federal compensation and addresses abuse, cultural loss, and reconciliation for survivors.

  • The Saskatchewan government has reached an Agreement in Principle to compensate former students of the Île-à-la-Crosse School, committing to pay $40.2 million to address the major pillars of compensation.
  • Premier Scott Moe apologized to survivors, acknowledging the historical abuse and trauma caused at the Île-à-la-Crosse School.
  • The school operated from the 1820s until it was destroyed by fire in the 1970s, and many students reported severe mistreatment, including language bans and physical abuse.
  • This agreement aims to promote healing and reconciliation for Métis and Indigenous communities affected by the school's legacy.
