Left: garbage incinerator. Right: pump house. In 1911 a pipeline was built from a spring near the present day intersection of Highway 12 and Highway 11 to the pump house and water was then pumped uphill 2,400 feet farther to the institution to provide it with a water supply.
We wish to acknowledge that this website was created thanks to a grant from the Investing in Justice fund. This fund existed because there was money left over from the Huronia Regional Centre class action settlement.
InvestIng in Justice projects enable survivors to tell the world what really happened in Ontario's government-run institutions and what it takes to instead have a good life at home and in their own communities. This fund also enabled the creation of the survivors cemetery monument at the HRC cemetery, and supported "Lost but not Forgotten" Mothers Day memorial gatherings there. Please see our Resource page for information about some of the other projects that benefited from this funding.
