More human remains found near a former residential school.
The Lower Kootenay Band said in a statement Wednesday that the remains of 182 people were found in unmarked graves close to the former St. Eugene’s Mission School near Cranbrook.
This follows the discovery of 751 unmarked graves at the former Marieval school in Saskatchewan on June 24.
A National Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former residential school students. The toll-free line can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1-866-925-4419.
