Premier Brian Pallister has released a statement on the discovery of a mass grave at a former Kamloops residential school.

Pallister says he was deeply saddened to learn of this "horrifying discovery."

“This discovery reminds us all of the tragedy of the residential school system.”

He says that the flags have been lowered at the Manitoba Legislative Building and Memorial Park. 

The Legislative Building will also be lit in orange to honour the 215 children whose lives were lost, and everyone else affected by residential schools.
