Dark blue background with orange text and orange paint marks as a boarder, Inside text reads;
As the result of a 2017 Supreme Court of Canada decision, residential school records are slated for destruction in September 2027. Most people are unaware of this Yet the retention of these records is key to preserving the truth of what happened in the schools and to advancing Reconciliation. This is critical at a time when residential school denialism is on the rise.

•	“It is not the existence of the Indian Residential School System that is being denied: it is the intent, outcomes, and impacts of that System.
•	Denialism relies on rejecting or misrepresenting the well-established facts about the Indian Residential School System. It relies on the techniques of historical research and analysis and falsely presents itself as a correction of the historical record.
