Sixties Scoop

Carolyn Bennett, Canada's Minister of Indigenous Affairs, stated that damages awarded to 60s scoop survivors will be awarded on a case-by-case basis.

Ontario Justice Edward Belobaba ruled in favour of Sixties Scoop victims in the 11-year-long class action lawsuit against the Canadian Federal Government.

In a written submission, the federal government has asked an Ontario Superior Court judge to throw out a class action lawsuit by Sixties Scoop survivors, on the basis that past actors can't be held to current standards, no matter the harms they caused.

Survivors of the Sixties Scoop — in which 16,000 First Nations children in Ontario were removed from their families and placed in non-Native homes — gathered at the Osgoode Hall law courts in Toronto for a rally in advance of a one-day court hearing.
