RCMP faces Canadian Human Right Tribunal in Burns Lake
For the first time ever, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is being held outside of Ottawa, in Burns Lake, to investigate the RCMP’s handling of abuse allegations at Immaculata Catholic School in the 1960s and ’70s. The hearing is taking place from May 1-May 12, 2023 and May 23 – June 1, 2023 at the Ts’Il Kaz Koh Gathering Place in Burns Lake.
In June 2020, six Lake Babine Nation members filed a statement of particulars with the tribunal. They said that the RCMP investigators’ “stereotypes and biased attitudes toward the complainants caused deficiencies in the execution of their investigation”. Vikki Peters, a local individual, made a pertinent observation in a Facebook post, highlighting the true focus of the upcoming hearing. “It’s not an inquiry into Immaculata, but an inquiry into racism and bias in the RCMP when they investigated after dozens of people came forward about the abuse.”
