Day Scholar Certified Class Action Update July 2017

4. Ttes-SFN-JBC-Three Class Members
Survivors: people who attended a
Federally owned and operated residential school during the day and returned home every night.
 Descendants: the children (son or daughter of the day scholar only) natural ,legally adopted or traditionally adopted by ceremony
Band class: a band with a residential school on or near their lands, or that had day scholars.

5. Negotiations Update
Ttes SFN GCC are in joint Exploratory Discussions with Canada with the goal to Settle the Day Scholar Certified Class Action
May 24, 2016 a joint meeting was held with Minister Bennett, TteS, SFN and James Bay Cree
The purpose was to initiate discussions for negotiating a resolution
At that meeting TteS-SFN-JBC requested that Minister Bennett appoint an MSR-Ministerial Special Representative.
Sept 2017 Minister Bennett appointed a MSR, to date we have been meeting on a regular basis with the intent to resolve the day scholar issue and reach a settlement.
To date Minister Bennett has agreed to meet with the TteS SFN & JBC to discuss a Agreement in Principal in August 2017.
Ttes SFN & JBC are fully prepared to advance our Certified Day Scholar Class Action and obtain a Fair & Just Settlement for the three classes: Survivors- Descendants & the 100 Band Class members.

6. Going Forward
Continue to hope that Minister Bennett will honor the promise to resolve the day scholar class action in a expedient manner & move toward full negotiations.
Recognize that time is of the essence.
Ttes SFN & JBC will proceed with litigation if negotiations continue to stall.
In the process of working with our expert and Canada to determine size of Survivor and Descendant class
