What happened to the priests or nuns after the residential schools closed?

After residential schools closed, many priests and nuns faced scrutiny for their roles in the abuse and mistreatment of Indigenous children. Some were held accountable through legal actions, while others continued to work within their religious communities. Many religious institutions issued apologies and sought to reconcile with Indigenous communities, but the legacy of trauma and loss endured for survivors. The ongoing impact of these schools remains a significant aspect of discussions about reconciliation in Canada.
