Canada's Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett alongside Minister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller is expected to hold a news conference Tuesday to provide an update on the federal government's support for Indigenous communities dealing with the ongoing impacts of residential schools.
They will be joined by Minister of Canadian Heritage Steven Guilbeault and Minister of Justice David Lametti.
In Manitoba, the Sagkeeng First Nation community is undergoing a search process at the site of the former Fort Alexander Residential School after recent discoveries of unmarked graves at similar residential schools across Canada spurred the community to take action and conduct a search using ground-penetrating radar.
Thousands of unmarked graves at sites of former residential schools have been discovered in recent months in several provinces including British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
