Funds raised will help with legal costs Lake Babine First Nation members in Northern B.C. incurred when they took the RCMP to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, alleging racism during an investigation into historical abuse. They filed their case in January 2017.  In March 2026, the Tribunal found eight counts of racism during the RCMP's "investigation" into historical abuse.  The RCMP applied to the Federal Court for a Judicial Review of the Tribunal's decision. Since they filed in 2017, three complainants and many other survivors have passed away: Three of six day school survivors and one witness have died
