The ceremonial launch of a $50-million foundation aimed at healing the damage of the 60’s Scoop is taking place today.
The ’60s Scoop arose out of government policy under which Indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in non-Indigenous homes over a period of about three decades.
Today’s virtual ceremony will also mark the release of a report based on stories from survivors.
Establishment of the foundation was part of a hard-fought class-action settlement and a key demand of a lead plaintiff in the case.
