The new round of ground\u002Dpenetrating radar probing will take about a month to complete.
The T’kemlups te Secwepemc says in a statement that a new round of ground-penetrating radar probing is set to begin this week near the former Kamloops residential school and will take about a month to complete.
The nation says Prof. Sarah Beaulieu of the University of the Fraser Valley will lead the search with support from the T’kemlups Natural Resources Department and Le Estcwicwey team, also known as The Missing team. Beaulieu also led the search of an apple orchard at the former school site last year that found 215 suspected graves after the discovery of a child’s rib bone and tooth in the area.
At the time, she said the search had covered less than a hectare and there was another 65 hectares to probe.Share this article in your social network
