Yukon Party Leader Currie Dixon and the NDP have released statements about the graves of 215 children found last month near
a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.
“The Yukon Party official Opposition joins those across the country who are horrified at the discovery of the remains of 215 children on the traditional territory of the Tk emlúpste Secwépemc First Nation near Kamloops,” Dixon said.
“Our hearts go out to the children and families of those whose lives were taken much too soon by actions that are nothing less than deplorable.
“We mourn the victims of the heinous atrocities and actions of abuse committed at residential schools across the country, and stand with the survivors.
