B.C. residential school survivor sues church after learning of son allegedly conceived from abuse

July 11, 2025

A British Columbia father and son are suing the Anglican Church of Canada, alleging the son was conceived as a result of sexual abuse by a female employee of St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay in the late 1960s.

The lawsuit says the father was 14 years old when he was sexually assaulted by a school supervisor in 1968, and he settled a lawsuit with the church in 2008.
