Truth and Reconciliation Commission's interim report leaked

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s interim report leaked on Thursday, a day before the actual report was to be released in Vancouver.

It is composed of 20 recommendations that include some about health, education, and commemoration, among others.

The report calls on material about residential schools in aboriginal communities to be included in the jurisdiction of public schools to inform kids about the history.

It also asks the federal government to implement other coping measures for residential schools survivors across the country.

The first residential schools were opened in the 1840s and the last one was closed in 1996.

This report is released as the commission reaches the half of its five-year mandate.

The commission is set to release its full report when it reaches the end of its mandate, in 2014.
