Work to continue in commemorating unmarked graves

A founding meeting for Remembering the Children Society will be happening shortly so work can be undertaken to commemorate more unmarked graves of children who died in Alberta during their time in Indian Residential Schools.  The society is being launched from the group that was formed two years ago which planned the sacred ceremony remembering the students at the former Red Deer Indian Industrial School. That group consisted of representatives of Treaty 6 and Treaty 7 as well as the Métis Nation of Alberta, said Muriel Stanley Venne, former vice chair of the MNA, as it was their children who were involved in the Red Deer school.  The school also had students from Nelson House, Man.  Treaty 8 members would be welcomed to join the society, said Stanley Venne.
