Indian Residential School Survivors Society

The Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS) is a provincial organization with a twenty year history of providing services to Indian Residential School Survivors.The Indian Residential School Survivors Society began in 1994 as a working committee of the First Nations Summit. We were known as the Residential School Project, housed out of and as a part of the BC First Nations Summit. The work was primarily to assist Survivors with the litigation process pertaining to residential school abuses. In the more recent years the work has expanded to include assisting the descendants of Survivors and Community education measures (Aboriginal & Non-Aboriginal).
