Support the crucial work at the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre

The Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre is grounded in its commitment to serve Survivors and Intergenerational Survivors of the Indian Residential School system.

The Centre works collaboratively with partners at UBC, and with First Nations and Indigenous organizations across British Columbia to address the ongoing impacts of Residential Schools and other Canadian colonial policies.

Working from a strengths-based framework, the Centre is committed to being a welcoming and accessible space for Survivors, Intergenerational Survivors and their families as well as Indigenous students, faculty, staff, community and researchers. It is a place that values reciprocal relationality, holistic wellness, teaching and learning.

Your gift will support the Centre’s programming and initiatives including:

  • Oral Testimony Program
  • Elder In-Residence Program
  • Wellness Drop-Ins
  • Orange Shirt Day
  • Access to records
  • Digital exhibitions
  • Dialogue events
  • Educational resources and programming

The Centre is also engaged in a relational way at UBC to implement UBC’s Indigenous Strategic Plan which aims to guide UBC’s engagement with Indigenous peoples and its commitment to reconciliation, as articulated and called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
