Missing Children Phase 3 (MCP3)

National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation

The NCTR completed the MCP1 and MCP2 This included the development of the National Memorial List. The National Memorial Register was created to forever remember and honor the children who never returned home from residential schools.

This memorial register was the result of the dedicated work of countless people and the advice, guidance and blessings from Survivors, Elders and Knowledge Keepers. It will forever remember, honor and acknowledge those children who died while attending a residential school in Canada.

Missing Children Phase 3 (MCP3)
MCP3 is soon to begin, and we will be establishing additional staff dedicated to this project which involves Call to Action #’s 72 and 73. We will soon be reaching out to First Nation communities and organizations first formally by letter across Canada to provide awareness and analyze participation of the MCP3 project. We need your help to complete this phase. This is your opportunity to have a voice for information sharing. We want to ensure that we have community involvement to provide guidance in developing nationally cultural safe procedures when reaching out to family members in confirming what names have been found for accuracy during MCP2.

Our end goal is to add the recent names to our memorial register and gather community input into creating a national student burial register, while commemorating, memorializing and honoring students who did not return home. The steps to achieve this involve a trauma informed approach and community guidance for best practices.

My Records, My Choice

National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation 

As you are no doubt aware, in 2017, the Supreme Court of Canada ordered that all of the confidential records relating to the claims for abuse made by former Indian Residential School students in the Independent Assessment Process under the IRSSA will be destroyed on September 19, 2027, unless the individual expressly consents to preserving their records or requests a copy of the records for themselves.

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) has received very few inquiries from individuals or families about the options for preserving IAP records. Click “for more details”  to view a pamphlet that explains the choices for former students and provides phone numbers and websites for people to obtain more information. As noted in the pamphlet, you can obtain more IAP information online at www.MyRecordsMyChoice.ca.
The records that can be preserved are:
– IAP Application Form
–  Printed rrecord or voice recording of the testimony
–  Decision on the claim
If any member of your community is interested in learning more about preserving their records at the NCTR, we would be pleased to speak to them. They can reach us by calling us toll-free at 1-855-415-4534 or by email at NCTRrecords@umanitoba.ca .
