HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia's Sipekne'katik First Nation says it will begin an investigation this weekend of the former Shubenacadie Indian Residential school site grounds. In a news release, Chief Mike Sack says the work has been "top of mind" for many years, and the recent discovery of what are believed to be the remains of 215 Indigenous children at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., has brought a "renewed sense of urgency." The work will be carried out by Jonathan Fowler, an associate professor with Saint Mary's University, and a leading researcher in archeological geophysics and remote sensing. The band says Fowler will focus his investigation on the former school grounds to determine if there is any burial evidence on site by using several techniques including ground-penetrating radar.
