Abstract
The Restorative Inquiry for the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children released its final report at a public ceremony in Halifax in November 2019. The 556-page report details the work and outcomes of this first public inquiry in the world to take a restorative approach. After former residents brought to light their experiences of abuse and neglect at the Home, the inquiry was established to bring those involved together — to learn what happened at the Home and why; and to understand and accept their responsibilities for what happened and for what needs to happen to make things right for the future.
