Parks Canada making amends after unearthing Indigenous remains: Hajdu – Timmins Today
Construction of a future facility in Nipigon was halted on May 21 after human remains were discovered at the site
NIPIGON – Parks Canada is working with Red Rock Indian Band to make amends after a “flawed process” culminated in the unearthing of Indigenous ancestral remains in Nipigon, Patty Hajdu says.
“I’ve spoken with (Red Rock Chief Allan) Odawa a number of times about the Parks Canada build and what led to the protest,” Hajdu, the MP for Thunder Bay-Superior and Indigenous services minister, said Friday after an unrelated news conference.
“Everyone agrees that the process was flawed,” Hajdu said.
