Time: During and After the Institution

Context

In this video, Marie Slark and Antoinette Charlebois speak with Sue Hutton about their hopes and desires for students learning to become educators, social workers, and health care providers. Slark and Charlebois share their stories of fear, torture, and death. Many people died at Huronia Regional Centre, as the headstones in the cemetery indicate. Because of neglect and abuse from staff, instiutionalized children felt terror and fear, and many died. Children were buried in unmarked graves or in graves with numbers, not names. Slark and Charlebois discuss their advocacy work with the organization “Remember Every Name,” which aims to counter the systemic violence they experienced in the institution.
