Two former Residential School sites to be searched
The federal government has announced $543,180 of funding over three years to support the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation’s search for potential unmarked graves at two former Residential School sites.
“This funding support is an important first step in helping our nation identify the atrocities and harm done to our children and facilitate the healing of our members who endured the pain and suffering in Canadian Residential Schools,” said Thomas George of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation through a Feb. 16 joint-announcement with the federal government.
