Additionally included are correspondence sent from Kakawis Family Development Centre and newspaper clippings regarding the sale of the Beaver Creek School.
The file also includes: copies of newspaper articles collected between 1995 and 2003, regarding Oblate residential school involvement; correspondence sent and received between 1995 and 2001, including from the Anglican Church of Canada, from the Office of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and from the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Tribal Council; and a newsletter from the National Catholic Working Group on Native Residential Schools.
Also included in the file is a photograph with the title "Our Kakawis Curtain," noted to have been "presented to Kakawis by the clients in the March-April session of 1988." The reverse side of the photograph contains detailed annotations.
