We welcome you to the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre.

The records on our site emerge from the cultural and physical genocide that the Canadian government and churches conducted through the Indian Residential School System, including the ongoing impacts.

Bearing witness to these records may become overwhelming. If you are a Survivor or an Intergenerational Survivor and would like support, you can call the 24-hour National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at:

Dr. P. H. Bryce submits report on health conditions in residential schools

1907
Description
Dr. P. H. Bryce, Chief Medical Officer of the Department of Indian Affairs, submitted a study recording alarming health conditions in residential school. This study looked at 35 schools in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba and reported on sanitary conditions of schools and the health statistics and mortality rates of students in schools. The results of the study were not released by the Department or widely known until Bryce published them himself in 1922.
