(Ottawa, ON) January 14, 2022 – The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is grateful to Juna Yoo for their donation. This donation will help the LHF to continue to grow our reach across Canada, so that the understanding of the Residential School System and the Sixties Scoop will become common knowledge amongst all Canadians.

“We are so touched that individuals such as Juna Yoo are supporting the work we do. It shows us that Canadians are finding ways to become a part of the process of Reconciliation. By raising awareness around the experiences that Indigenous Peoples in Canada have endured, we can learn from the past mistakes, treat future generations with respect and dignity and be a better country for it,” 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, and 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 in Canada.
