Breaking: 66 more potential graves identified at former B.C. residential school
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. - The lead investigator in the search for unmarked graves at a former residential institution near the Williams Lake First Nation in central British Columbia says the latest phase of their work has uncovered 66 additional “reflections,” indicating children’s graves.
Spearing says that in addition to the reflections found in a technical survey, their interviews with survivors and archival records revealed that babies born as a result of child sexual assault at the mission were disposed of by incineration on and off-site. A year ago, the nation announced the first phase of its investigation had uncovered 93 other “reflections.”
