by the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association and the cemetery committee following the 1981 Shingwauk Reunion commemorates all who are buried in the cemetery. Also located in the Shingwauk Memorial Cemetery is a commemorative bench. The bench features the inscription "In Memory of Shingwauk Residential School. Students Remembering Students" and was placed in the cemetery in 2012. There is also an Ontario Heritage Foundation plaque commemorating the history of the Shingwauk site. This marker is situated outside the Bishop Fauquier Chapel, the only remaining structure from the early years of the Shingwauk School. The Shingwauk Residential School site has also received two commemorative markers as part of the Assembly of First Nations commemorative marker project. These markers are for the Shingwauk Indian Residential School and the Wawanosh Indian Residential School. One of the markers is temporarily on display in the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre. The permanent placement of the markers is still being decided. On August 3, 2018, the Reclaiming Shingwauk Hall commemorative exhibition was opened on the Shingwauk Site. This exhibition honors the experience of residential school survivors and also teaches the general public about this history of the site. In April 2021 the Shingwauk Residential School site was designated as a national historic site under the Historic Sites and Monument Board of Canada.
