Some of our families have never stopped wondering what happened to a child who was taken away on a medivac and never came home. AWACAK is here in Kawawachikamach on September 2 and 3, and they can help.
Meeting at the Community Center
We are meeting at the Naskapi Community Center at 4:00 PM.
Come by. If this is your family, or you think it might be, this is the place to start.
Have you lost track of a child?
If a child from your family was sent to a Quebec institution before December 1992 and you lost track of them, you have the right to look for them. AWACAK is a family association dedicated to helping reconnect families with children lost after a medivac, and they are in the community now to sit down with people.
About Bill 79
If a child was sent to a Quebec institution before December 1992, Bill 79 gives families the right to access medical files and religious archives to help find them. Those records were closed to families for a long time. Bill 79 opens them.
How AWACAK can help
Accessing medical files. Bill 79 unlocks medical files for children sent to Quebec institutions before December 1992.
Religious archives. Religious archives can also be accessed to help trace and reconnect families with lost children.
Family support. AWACAK provides compassionate guidance and support throughout the search process.
Come and talk to them
You do not need to have documents or answers ready. You do not need to know where to begin. You only need to come.
