A class-action lawsuit has been launched for residential school survivors who attended residential schools during the day, but were permitted to return home at night.
It was initially launched by two B.C. bands because so-called day-scholars were not included as part of a settlement agreement.
Several Ontario schools are mentioned in the lawsuit, including Pelican Lake in Pelican Falls.
Here is a list of other Ontario schools named in suit:
Bishop Horden Hall (Moose Fort, Moose Factory)
Cecilia Jeffrey (Kenora, Shoal Lake)
