The Halton Children’s Aid Society (Halton CAS) is devastated by the announcement confirming the deaths of 97 children at the former Mohawk Institute Residential School (Mohawk Institute) in Brantford, Ontario. This information came through a collaboration with Know History, a professional historical research firm who indicated the 97 children died from illness or injury.

According to media reports, Know History and the Survivor’s Secretariat have worked together for nine months, resulting in the identification of 4,581 names of children who attended the former Mohawk Institute as well as 725 names of people who worked there in some capacity. The team has also discovered over 12,000 records relevant to the institute across 23 institutions.
