- TRC chair Justice Murray Sinclair said the total number of recorded residential school deaths in Canada could be an underestimate given poor record keeping, and the real number of deaths could have been five to 10 times higher
- Of the 342 deaths recoded in the north (NWT, Yukon and Nunavut) 110 are unnamed
- Newfoundland and Labrador was excluded from the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement. See Call to Action # 29 for details on Residential Schools Class Action Settlement on May 11, 2016 and Supreme Court Mount Cashel decision finding Archdiocese of St. Johns liable for abuse on Jan. 14, 2021
- According to the final report, between 1936 and 1944, 200,000 Indian Affairs files were destroyed.

- Among cases with a reported cause of death, about half died from tuberculosis. Pneumonia and influenza combined accounted for another 10 per cent of deaths.
