Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre Vancouver

The Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre in Vancouver is a significant museum dedicated to the history and impact of Indian Residential Schools in Canada. These schools, operated by the Canadian government and various churches, aimed to assimilate Indigenous children and suppress their culture. The Centre provides a platform for survivors to share their stories and raises awareness about the historical and ongoing impacts of these schools. It also serves as a place for dialogue and education to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. The Centre was opened in 2018 and is located on the campus of the University of British Columbia.
