- Notes
- The Healing and Reconciliation Fund of the Anglican Church of Canada donates more than $100,000 annually to projects across Canada proposed by Natives. Distribution of the Fund is overseen by Donna Bomberry, Indigenous Ministries Coordinator, with the help of "an advisory group [which] recommends which porjects should go ahead, once they've met certain criteria". To date the Fund has supported a project "to produce 1000 new hymn books, translating the 57 hymns in the Anglican Church Kwak'wala Hymnal into the orthography in use by the schools and understood by the younger people". It has also supported a project to train "11 Natives in Saskatchewan to counsel people dealing with sexual abuse". The project coordinator said "there is a great need for Native counsellors who are trained to deal with sexual abuse or other traumas, many of which are a result of experiences in residential schools".
