A tour of Brantfords former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School and interviews with five survivors from the institution are part of a virtual event offered Friday through Woodland Cultural Centre and Welland Public Library.

The cultural centre offers a variety of tours, education programs and workshops that allow visitors to learn about an assortment of topics covering the past, present and future of southern Ontarios First Nations peoples, the library said in a release.

The virtual tour of the former residential school in Brantford will give the history of the institution over its 140 years, and viewers will see rooms inside, including the girls and boys dormitories, the cafeteria and the laundry room.

Registration is required as space is limited, the library said. It asks people to register at their earliest convenience by calling 905-734-6210 or at wellandlibrary.ca.
