In a letter addressed to Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on Wednesday, Opposition NDP Leader Ryan Meili demanded an official apology from the province for trauma caused to Indigenous people at the Île-à-la-Crosse and Timber Bay residential schools in northern Saskatchewan.
Neither of the residential schools were included in the federal Indian Residential School Settlement process established as part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The two schools were run by religious groups that were funded by both the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan.
