CBC News Feature about Residential School on Penelakut
Sunday, July 10, 2022 at 12:13PM CBC News has a feature today about the residential school on Penelakut Island, where more than 160 unmarked graves were found last year.
The feature focuses on a Halalt youth, Richard Thomas, who died there in 1966. He was 16. The article recounts these events and some of the dishonorable history of residential schools, and is very much worth reading:
