Contains a letter from the Ontario Library Association notifying Larry Loyie, Constance Brissenden, and Wayne K. Spear about the nomination of Residential Schools: With the Words and Images of Survivors (Indigenous Education Press & Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre, 2014) for a Golden Oak Award in the Adult Learners category. The Golden Oak Award is part of Ontario Library Association's annual reading program called The Forest of Reading®. Every year, the Ontario Library Association develops a list of books for each award category. Adult Learners voted from several titles to choose one title in the Golden Oak Award category. They chose the residential school title.  
 
In the year before Larry Loyie, Constance Brissenden and Wayne were nominated, the Forest of Reading® Program had engaged almost 250,000 participants. There are eight categories separated by age group and reading level ranging from kindergarteners to adults. The Adult Learners category is for Canadian works ideal for English as a second language and beginner-level adult readers. Residential Schools: With the Words and Images of Survivors won the award in 2016. This award was granted after Larry Loyie's passing, and Constance Brissenden says that it was meaningful because Larry Loyie had been an adult learner. Co-author Wayne K. Spear, who lives in Toronto, ON was at the event, and accepted the award.
