The Legacy of Hope Foundation Wishes to Honour Tabatha Saunders for her Generosity 

(Ottawa, ON) January 14, 2022 – The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is grateful to Tabatha Saunders for her donation. The proceeds will help our organization to disseminate educational resources about the Residential School System and its ongoing impacts on individuals, families, and communities.

Indigenous Peoples across Canada continue to be impacted by intergenerational trauma brought on by the Residential School System and the Sixties Scoop. As a charitable organization, the LHF relies on donations to continue our work to educate all Canadians about these ongoing impacts as well as working towards Reconciliation. We believe that education is our most powerful means to achieve a more harmonious relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples in this country.

“We at the LHF are so grateful and so touched by people like Tabatha, who are doing what they can to support our work. It is our hope that by sharing information and developing educational resources, that people across Canada will embody the principles that are necessary for the process of Reconciliation to grow,” said Teresa Edwards, Executive Director and In-House Legal Counsel at the LHF.

The LHF is a national, Indigenous-led, charitable organization that has been working to promote healing and Reconciliation in Canada for over 21 years. The LHF’s goal is to educate and raise awareness about the history and existing intergenerational impacts of the Residential and Day School Systems and subsequent Sixties Scoop on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) Survivors, their descendants, and their communities to promote hope and healing in Canada. The LHF works to encourage people to address discrimination and injustice in order to contribute to the equity, dignity, and respectful treatment of Indigenous Peoples and to foster Reconciliation.

The LHF has more than 25 educational exhibitions that promote awareness of Indigenous history that are free to borrow and is working on making exhibitions available online. LHF also has curriculum for K-12 and for adults, along with Activity Guides, Workshops and Training, Podcasts, all aimed at educating Canadians about Indigenous history and the shared history of Residential and Day Schools, the Sixties Scoop, etc. The LHF works to develop empathy and understanding so as to eliminate racism against Indigenous Peoples.
