Sixties Scoop Class Action Lawsuit Back In Court

The Sixties Scoop class action lawsuit will be back before the courts on Monday.
It stems from the roughly 16,000 Aboriginal children in Ontario that were removed from their homes between 1965 and 1985, and placed in non-native communities.
Nishnawbe-Aski Nation Deputy Grand Chief Goyce Kakegamic says the residential schools have permanently scarred countless First Nations.
Beaverhouse First Nation Chief Marcia Brown Martel and Roberta Commanda launched a lawsuit in February 2009 against the Attorney General of Canada.
In May 2010, a judge granted a motion to certify the action as a class proceeding. Moving forward to December 2011, the Superior Court of Justice ruled that conditional certification of a class action proceeding shouldn’t have been granted.
The case will be heard at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto.
