Pine Creek Residential School

A First Nation community in northern Manitoba says ground-penetrating radar has found 150 anomalies at the site of a former residential school, including 59 unmarked graves at a nearby cemetery.

Before the sun broke through the sky on Monday morning, members of a Manitoba First Nation planned to start a critical month-long search in a good way.

Ottawa is spending $2 million for an international organization to provide Indigenous communities with options for identifying possible human remains buried near former residential school sites.
