Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University

Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), in partnership with TMU’s School of Journalism, will undertake an interdisciplinary initiative to engage law and journalism students in investigative and legal research and education to create a central repository of court filings against the Canadian government by survivors of Indian residential schools, where survivors, their families and communities, as well as legal professionals, advocates, journalists, scholars, and students can access data for further research. It will also work with survivors and their communities to inform them about the impending destruction of Independent Assessment Process (IAP) accounts which hold information vital to uncovering the lived experience of students at residential schools and to potentially identifying missing children.
