In Their Own Words: Healing and Commemoration Travelling Exhibition

As part of the healing and commemoration portion of the Newfoundland and Labrador Residential Schools settlement, Them Days has been given the archival collection produced from the healing and commemoration sessions in 2018. We are also bringing the travelling exhibition to several communities in Labrador. The stories as told by former students are at the heart of this exhibition, and allows everybody to hear survivors tell their stories in their own words, through audio and video at touchscreen stations, and virtual reality headsets. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend so that their history will never be forgotten.
