A years-long project to clean-up contaminated soil from the former school is ongoing
Work is currently underway to clean contaminated soil at the site of Lejac Residential School near Fraser Lake, B.C.
The company began test drilling work to investigate the soil and groundwater of the area and found that heating oil tanks which were used to heat the classrooms and main school building had contaminated the soil. However, because of the sensitivity of working on the site of a former residential school, when they began testing the ground, they had a Nadleh Whuten monitor on-site to help identify any bones or anything that might be found in the ground.
“Once we're done with this, it's to get the land back to current use and current environmental conditions.”
