More About Legacy of Abuse

This site describes the history and environment of Christian Centre Academy in Saskatoon, later renamed Legacy Christian Academy and Valour Academy. Behind the walls of the private Christian school, former students describe a world where religion, discipline, and control blurred into something far more troubling – now the subject of investigations, court battles, and stories that are finally being told.

The initiative brings forward lived experiences, supports collective advocacy, and highlights ongoing legal and social efforts aimed at addressing the harms that took place at 102 Pinehouse Drive in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

This website and its references contain descriptions and stories of child sexual, physical, emotional and spiritual abuse.
