- Notes
- "We hear a lot in the Canadian media presently about the legal cases being brought forward by former Residential School pupils. Whilst there is no doubt that many unacceptable things happened, it is our belief that these were the exception and not the rule in our Anglican establishments in the north. It is unfortunate however that the negative reports we see and hear may make former workers feel that they should feel ashamed and that their ministries were and are not appreciated. This is not the case ! I would like to have the opportunity to record our thanks to them for all they contributed. We are anxious to learn of the names and addresses of any former Residential School, Hostel or Hospital employee so that we might keep in contact with them and support them in these difficult times as history seems to be judging them so harshly."
