Danny Zacharias • April 13th, 2023 at 1:16 am Thanks Crystal. You’re correct that they were not quite specific enough there. There were no residential schools. But Indian day schools were also part of Canada’s assimilationist agenda, and there was an Indian Day school in Sussex, NB, and 2 in PEI: Lennox Island Day School and the Rocky Point Day School.
