All City of Brandon flags are flying at half-mast for four days and four nights following a recent announcement by the Lower Kootenay Band.
The Lower Kootenay Band says that a search using ground-penetrating radar has located the remains of 182 people near the former St. Eugene’s Mission School, near Cranbrook B.C.
The school operated from 1912 to the 1970s.
The community of ʔaq’am, situated within the territory of the Ktunaxa Nation, located 182 unmarked graves in 2020 using ground-penetrating radar, but only recently notified the nearby Lower Kootenay First Nation.
