Beginning today, September 15, 2025 and running through to November 30, 2025 at Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre (BCM&CC), Legacy of Hope Foundation's 'A National Crime – The Residential School, System, Local Saugeen Ojibway Nation Impacts' not only aims to shed light on the devastating impacts of seven generations who attended Residential Schools across Canada but also shares stores of local impact.
The exhibition was developed in partnership with the Legacy of Hope Foundation, Saugeen First Nation, and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and includes photographs, archival documents and personal accounts that illustrate the injustices inflicted on Indigenous children, families, and communities.
"Survivors and their families continue to experience the impacts of these institutions today," read a recent media release from Bruce County. "A National Crime encourages visitors to reflect on the past and engage with knowledge and resources to consider their role in contributing to Reconciliation today."
To complement the exhibition, BCM&CC is hosting a series of free Community Conversations in October and November with community members from Chippewas of Saugeen and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation sharing local experiences and exhibition insights. The events aim to bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives and foster dialogue on the ongoing impacts of Residental Schools.
Community Conversations will be held every Wednesday from October 8 until November 26 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. To register, click here.
