No One is Protecting Individual Privacy Interests 9 IV ORDER SOUGHT. 11 1 I. SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT 1. Due to the extreme sensitivity of much of the subject matter of Indian Residential Schools, all parties to the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA") were concerned at the time of the negotiation of the IRSSA that individual privacy interests were to be respected and protected. 2. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission ("the TRC") seeks to obtain documents from Canada and various church entities pursuant to section 11 of Schedule N of the IRSSA. Independent Counsel does not oppose the transfer of such documents to the TRC providing that the privacy protections agreed to by all Parties to the Settlement Agreement and ordered by the nine Courts who approved the Settlement Agreement are made binding conditions of the transfer or release of any such documents. 3. The TRC proposes to archive these documents with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation ("the NCTR"). The legislation governing the NCTR does not preserve the confidentiality of these documents .in accordance with the terms of the IRSSA and does not ensure that individual privacy interests will be protected. The only protection against the possibility of disclosure contrary to the terms of the IRSSA, including "proactive" disclosure, is by way of a Court Order. il. THE FACTS 4. Independent Counsel are defined in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement ("IRSSA") as: Independent Counsel" means Plaintiffs' Legal Counsel who have signed this Agreement, excluding Legal Counsel who have signed this Agreement in their capacity as counsel for the Assembly of First Nations or for the Inuit Representatives or Counsel who are members of the Merchant Law Group or members of any of the firms who are members of the National Consortium. 2 5. Independent Counsel have acted on claims for survivoÍs across Canada and have undertaken since the beginning of the IAP process to comply with the terms of the IRSSA and the CBA Guidelines. Subsequently, after her decision in the Blott application in this proceeding in November 9,2012, Independent Counsel have agreed to comply in all cases with Madam Justice Broum' s decision. A. Privacy Provisions in Schedule N of the Settlement Agreement 6 The goals of the TRC are set out atparagraph 1 of Schedule N. These include: Identify sorrces and create as complete an historical record as possible of the "IRS system and legacy". The record shall be preserved and made accessible to the public for future study and use; Settlement Agreement, Schedule N, para I (e) 7. This provision and s. 11 of Schedule N in the IRSSA are the bases for the request being made by the TRC. However, all activities of the TRC are subject to strict conditions for maintaining the privacy of all individuals. The use of any information which might identify an individual cannot be used in any way without his or her consent. Section 2 of Schedule N provides that the Commissioners: (Ð [..,] Further, the Commission shall not make any reference in any of its activities or in its report or recommendations to the possible civil or criminal liability of any person or organization, unless such findings or information about the individual or institution has already been established through legal proceedings; (g) shall not, except as reduired by law, use or permit access to statements made by individuals during any Commission events, activities or processes, except with the express consent of the individual and only for the sole purpose and extent for which the consent is granted; (h) shall not name names in their events, activities, public statements, report or recommendations, or make use of personal information or of statements made which identify a person, without the express consent of that individual, unless that information andlor the identity of the person so identified has already been established through legal proceedings, by admission, or by public disclosure by that individual. Other information that could be used to identify individuals shall be anonymized to the extent possible; (i) notwithstanding (e) shall require in camera proceedings for the taking of any statement that contains names or other identifying information of persons alleged by the ' J person making the statemcnt of somc wrong doing, unless the person named or identified has been convicted for the alleged wrong doing.

The Algoma Anglican enters your home for the first time today and we hope you will invite it back again, every month, for a long time to come. The idea of a monthly paper for Anglicans in the Diocese of Al- goma originated with His Grace Archbishop W. L. Wright, who felt such a publication would do much to unite the common interests of all the people in our far-flung diocese. Algoma covers such a wide territory that to date many of us in one part of the diocese have had little or no opportunity to learn about the activities and progress of our fellow churchmen in other sections. It is hoped, therefore, that the Algoma Anglican will rectify this situation, that it will keep us all informed of what is going on in all parts of the diocese, and, perhaps more importantly, help us to know each other better and more deeply understand each other’s problems and hopes. The success of the Algoma Anglican will depend, of course, on the support it receives from our people throughout the diocese. Circulation will develop if the paper has readership value, and readership value will develop if every parish in the diocese reports fully on its activities. In this connection we would like to suggest that each parish appoint a correspondent who would be respon- sible for reporting to the Algoma Anglican every month.

    P032 Anglican Diocese of Moosonee Synod Office Fonds P032- Diocese of Moosonee Synod Office fonds 1872-2013 (Originals 1848-2013) 34m of textual records, architectural drawings, photographic records, and artifacts Administrative History: Founded in 1872, the Anglican Diocese of Moosonee encompasses the James Bay, south of Hudson Bay, and surrounding areas in Northern Ontario and norther- western Quebec. James Bay area communities were considered part of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, founded in 1849, until 1872. The Diocese of Moosonee was overseen as part of the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert`s Land from 1875 until 1912 when it became part of the newly created Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario. On Moose Factory Island and surrounding areas now considered part of the Diocese of Moosonee, early missionary services were carried out by the English Wesleyan Society under Reverend George Barnley from the year 1840 until the arrival of the Anglican missionary John Horden in 1851. Horden was sent to the Moose Factory HBC post by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in order to minister to both the Aboriginal community there and the European residents alike. He arrived with his wife Elizabeth from Exeter, England, and was ordained deacon and priest by the Bishop of Rupert`s Land in 1852, due in large part to his success within the Moose Factory community. Horden established a day school early on and a small mission school in 1855 while translating religious works into Cree. Horden was ordained at Westminster Abbey as the first Bishop of the newly established Diocese of Moosonee in 1872. This meant that the size of the Diocese of Rupert`s Land shrank in 1872 with the creation of the Diocese of Moosonee and then shrank further in 1873 with the creation of the Diocese of Athabasca.

  • Canons of the Diocese of Algoma the Diocese
    CANONS OF THE DIOCESE OF ALGOMA THE DIOCESE PREAMBLE The Kingdom of God was not only proclaimed and heralded by Jesus, but also revealed and embodied by him. As Christ’s Body in the world today, the church exists to live as a sign, foretaste, and instrument of the promised and immanent Kingdom of God. The church testifies to the Lordship of the risen and ascended Christ, and to his Kingdom, as it acts courageously on God’s promises and gives passionate witness to the gospel by word and deed. As part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, the Diocese of Algoma is committed to living out this vision and vocation. The purpose of our diocesan canons is to serve Algoma’s governance in such a way that this commitment is given priority through liturgy and formation that orient us to the Kingdom and shape people in the life of Christ; a common life that deepens our love of God and one another; and participation in God’s ongoing mission in the world that leads us to proclaim the good news and pursue God’s justice, reconciliation, and peace. The Synod directs that these canons, and all policies, regulations, and guidelines shall be interpreted and applied in light of this preamble. Diocese of Algoma - May 2017 A. Diocesan Officials Canon A-1: THE ELECTION OF A BISHOP Vacancy of the See: 1. (a) In the event of the resignation, retirement or death of the Bishop, or the vacancy of the See for any other reason, the Secretaries of the Synod shall notify the Metropolitan of the same within one week from the occurrence of this event.
