IRS death records

November 1, 2021

Globe and Mail – Ontario says it has found about 1,800 death registrations of school-aged Indigenous children that it will release to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, amid growing calls for governments and churches to hand over records that shed light on the residential-school system. The 1,800 death registrations span the past 70 years and are held by the Office of the Registrar General, the agency responsible for recording all births, marriages and deaths in Ontario.
