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.

He has spoken about the terror of being sent away to that closed system and trying to make sense of its lasting psychological and emotional impact, turning what once felt like an inescapable structure into a story he can now name, examine, and share publicly.
