Join us at 12 pm on Monday September 25 out front of Richardson Hall for the raising of the Survivors' Flag and an Every Child Matters flag.

"The Survivors’ Flag is an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school Survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by Survivors from across Canada, who were consulted in the flag’s creation."

In an effort to create more opportunities for learning ahead of Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we have expanded our events to include movie screenings.

Event is open to Queen's University students, alumni, staff, and faculty only.

Content warning: physical, emotional and sexual abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction and cycles of family violence.

An adaptation of Ojibway writer Richard Wagamese’s award-winning novel, this moving and important drama sheds light on the dark history of Canada’s boarding schools or Indigenous Residential Schools and the indomitable spirit of Indigenous people.

This installation explores the systemic erasure of Indigenous culture in residential schools. Portraying a colonial classroom, the exhibit includes nine rebuilt residential school desks with photographs of children’s families inside. As you move further in the rows, the images disappear representing the loss of identities, family, culture, and language.
