In observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, FNQLHSSC employees had the honour of meeting, on September 29, with two Indian residential school survivors: Clifford Moar, from Mashteuiatsh, and Anesh Chittspattio, from Kawawachikamach.

Their deeply moving testimonies, in which they generously shared their personal experiences, reflections and truths, helped shed light on the lasting impacts of the Indian residential schools. Their words, imbued with courage, resilience and sincerity, serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving our collective memory, acknowledging the truth, and continuing the journey towards healing and reconciliation.

The FNQLHSSC wishes to express its deepest gratitude to Mr. Moar and Ms. Chittspattio for their openness, generosity, and trust.

As part of this day of commemoration and reflection, the FNQLHSSC also produced and distributed awareness-raising tools.
