There is new information for Survivors on the Day School Settlement Agreement.
To be eligible for compensation, a person must have attended one of the schools listed on Schedule K (PDF). The Claims process opened on January 13, 2020, and class members will have two and a half years to submit their claims.
The last day to submit a claim is July 13, 2022. The form is available via the Indian Day Schools Class Action website.
Completed claims forms can be submitted in three different ways. The claims must be sent to “Indian Day Schools Class Action Claims Administrator, c/o Deloitte.” Claims can be submitted in the following formats:
- By Mail: PO Box 1775, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5C 0A2, or
- By Fax: 416-366-1102, or
