In-person exhibit
Free | No registration required

Presented by the Legacy of Hope Foundation.

This exhibition, the first in Canada to be developed on residential schools, spans over 125 years and contains photographs and documents from the 1880s to present day. Photographs, text panels and artifacts move the witness through the process of leaving home and arriving at school, to school activities and being part of a classroom. A section on the children who never returned home as well as on contemporary role models provides a wide range of perspectives.

The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is a national, Indigenous-led, charitable organization that has been working to promote healing and Reconciliation in Canada for more than 19 years. The LHF’s goal is to educate and raise awareness about the history and existing intergenerational impacts of the Residential School System (RSS) and subsequent Sixties Scoop (SS) on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) Survivors, their descendants, and their communities to promote healing and Reconciliation.

Visit the exhibit’s companion website for a downloadable mobile tour, a video, a residential school timeline, a collection of 59 Residential School Oral Histories and Survivor Stories from across Canada, and a list of resources and further reading.
