SASKATOON Tom Roberts knows emotions will run high this weekend during a search for unmarked graves in La Ronge. “It’s going to trigger a lot of memories,” he said. “It’s going to be heartbreaking, and trauma may set in for some people. For me myself, at my age now, I am concerned. I’m still trying to figure out ‘How do I deal with this?’” A ground-penetrating radar search is set to take place on Saturday and Sunday at an old cemetery site on an urban reserve in La Ronge. That’s where the Lac La Ronge Indian Residential School once stood, operated by the Anglican Church of Canada from 1907 to 1947.
