Human remains have been discovered at the St. Andrews Lock and Dam sight in Lockport.

Peguis First Nation Chief Glenn Hudson issued a statement on Friday, confirming that skeletal remains of two people were discovered at the site, and that consrtuction work has stopped as a result.

The statement says that the remains of a teenager were discovered first, and initial investigations suggest the person had tuberculosis.

Peguis First Nation has reached out to provincial archeologists to recover the remains and determine where the bones should be buried.
