Survivors of the Île-à-la-Crosse Residential School and the Saskatchewan government are expected to make what they are calling a "major" announcement Monday morning.

Premier Scott Moe, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan (MN-S) leaders and provincial officials are among the planned attendees.

The school and its legacy have been the subject of legal action for years. Survivors have previously launched lawsuits against both the federal and provincial governments, arguing they should be recognized and compensated for the abuse they endured.

On March 3, 2025, Ottawa announced a $27-million agreement in principle with survivors. That deal included a federal apology and a $10-million legacy fund to support cultural, language and healing initiatives.
