About the Boarding Homes Class Action / Claims Process

The Boarding Homes Claims Class Action is a new case for First Nations and Inuit people. It is for those who left their community for school and stayed in a private home or Boarding Home set up by the Federal Government. The Indian Boarding Home Program placed children in other communities, often non-Indigenous, to live with private families for school. This did not include post-secondary placements.

The Class Action claims that Canada’s creation, operation, and maintenance of the Indian Boarding Home Program were wrong. Consequently, these actions created an environment where children were abused, harassed, and suffered other harms. Moreover, the long absence from family and community caused a loss of culture, language, and community bonding.

The Claims Compensation Process will start on August 21, 2024. But the main eligibility period is from September 1, 1951, to June 30, 1992. This applies to those placed by the Federal Government in a private or Boarding Home. Moreover, individuals placed after June 30, 1992, may also be eligible if the Federal Government arranged their placement in a private Boarding Home.

Additionally, estate claims can be made for any former Boarding Homes student who died on or after July 24, 2016, and had not yet submitted a claim. Their Executor, Administrator, Trustee, or Liquidator can submit a claim on their behalf, with compensation paid to the Estate.
