Nova Scotia Abuse Survivors Get Paid | Vancouver News

Dozens of Nova Scotia abuse survivors are finally getting paid after a four-year wait, as a $10 million settlement from the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth begins distributing compensation ranging from $21,799 to over $300,000. Approved in late 2022, the payout faced delays due to late claims and mandatory third-party reviews to ensure fair distribution within the settlement’s budget. While lawyers and church officials hailed the process as landmark and fair — with some payouts among the highest in Canada — survivors say the real victory was speaking their truth and being heard, even if the legal system often felt more focused on procedure than healing.
