The Legacy of Hope Foundation, based in Gloucester/Ottawa, is a national Indigenous-led, charitable organization founded in 2000 with the mandate to educate Canadians about the history and impacts of the Residential/Day School, and subsequent Child Welfare System generations of Indigenous Peoples. These include the direct and ongoing impacts on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Survivors, their communities, and their families. Our mission is to make known the history of injustice to build empathy and understanding and to support healing, while addressing racism. We also highlight the rich contributions Indigenous Peoples have made and continue to make to inspire action that will foster just and equal relationships for all in Canada.
