Indian Residential School Survivors Society
The Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS) is a provincial organization with a twenty-year history of providing services to Indian Residential School Survivors.
IRSSS provides essential services to Residential School Survivors, their families, and those dealing with Inter-generational traumas. These impacts affect every family and every community across B.C. and Canada. This fact is most evident in the Corrections Canada Services-the numbers of First Nations people incarcerated, Child and Family Services child apprehensions, the high number of people on social assistance, unemployment and underemployed, lower levels of education, the lowest number within an ethnic minority of “determinants of health”, the list of impacts is extremely high while the services available to effectively assist impacts of Residential Schools remain quite low.
One of our Society’s goals is to continually expand our support to partner organizations and maximize access to culturally sensitive, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual care.

Our team’s visions are:
- To bring awareness to the legacy and the inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools;
- To honour Residential School Survivors and the children (our most sacred and precious gifts) who did not return home to their families and;
- To encourage holistic health and wellness in our communities through wholesome competition and sport.
We look forward to running/walking in ceremony with you on September 30, 2021.
