Indian Residential School
History and Dialogue Centre

The Centre works collaboratively with partners at UBC, and with Indigenous communities and 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.
