Claims to Indian Day School Settlement

The due date for claims related to the Indian Day Schools Settlement agreement was July 13, 2022.  In acknowledgement that there are still potential claimants who have not submitted their claim forms for various reasons, the possibility to request a 6 month extension (to January 13, 2023) was announced recently.  The extension request form was released on the Indian Day Schools website yesterday, and is linked below.

Claimants must send in BOTH the claim form AND the extension request form prior to January 13, 2023.

The Extension Request Form is now available for Class Members who miss the July 13, 2022 claims deadline.

Note that Extension Request Forms and Claim Forms must be received by the Claims Administrator by January 13, 2023 at 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time (PST).

All requests for extension are reviewed by the Exceptions Committee and approvals are not automatically granted. Although we anticipate flexibility in processing an Extension Request Form, Class Members will need to identify a reason as to why they have been unable to file a claim by the July 13, 2022 deadline. The Extension Request Form is available here or can be mailed/emailed by contacting Class Counsel at 1.844.539.3815 or dayschools@gowlingwlg.com.

Class Counsel remains available to assist, free of charge, during the extension period. Mental health and wellness support also remains available through the Hope for Wellness Help Line at 1-855-242-3310 or the online chat at hopeforwellness.ca open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
