All further news will be posted in the Woodstock First Nation Health Centre NewsletterOfficial Court NoticeApril 26, 2007 The Indian residential schools settlement has been approved by the Courts. Now, former students and their families must decide whether to stay in the settlement or remove themselves (opt out) from it. Enclosed you will find a short, one page notice, and a more detailed notice for members of the community who are included in the settlement. The notices describe the settlement benefits and how to get them for those who stay in, and explain what it means to opt out and how to opt out. We are asking for your help to distribute or make available these important notices, as you are able, because the notices affect the legal rights of former students of residential schools and their families. Also, please post a notice in a prominent place where the community will be able to view it, and feel free to print the short notice in any newsletter you may publish, or post a link to the Court website for the settlement, www.residentialschoolsettlement.ca, at any website you host. Learn more by calling toll free 1-866-879-4913 (linked to crisis line services) or by visiting www.residentialschoolsettlement.ca. Thank you.
