The Liberal government is heavily redacting how a B.C. First Nation spent over $12 million in taxpayer money that was supposed to be used to investigate unproven claims of 215 child graves at a former residential school.
The Tkemlups te Secwepemc First Nation acknowledged on Feb. 18 that it never exhumed any remains on the site. This was due to a lack of consensus between affected nations, despite initially claiming in May 2021 to have found what they believed to be an “unmarked mass grave” of former students at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. Now the government is refusing to reveal how millions of taxpayers’ dollars were spent to unearth the claimed graves, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
