Indian Boarding Homes Class Action Settlement PDF Banner

What is the Indian Boarding Homes Class Action?

In the 1950s, the Indian Boarding Homes Program placed First Nations and Inuit children in private homes for the purpose of attending school. This Settlement provides compensation to people placed in these homes. You are a Primary Class Member if Canada placed you in a private home, between September 1, 1951 and June 30, 1992. You may still be eligible if you were placed after June 30, 1992. People who were placed in private homes, but died on or after July 24, 2016, may also be eligible, and their estate can apply on their behalf.

How can I know if I am eligible?

When can I apply?

You can start applying for compensation starting Wednesday August 21, 2024.

How can I start my Application?

Starting on August 21, 2024, you can visit the website https://boardinghomesclassaction.com/ to find the claim forms. You can submit claims online, or by downloading and mailing it to the Administrator.
