CP NewsAlert: Ottawa to fund further study of possible Winnipeg landfill search

By The Canadian Press on October 4, 2023.

OTTAWA – Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree says the federal government will put $740,000 towards further assessing the feasibility of searching a Winnipeg-area landfill for the remains of two First Nations women.

He says more research is needed to figure out how a search can be undertaken, based on the findings of an initial feasibility study.

Manitoba’s premier-designate Wab Kinew promised his NDP government would move forward with a search of the landfill if he came into power, and Anandasangaree says the federal government aims to work with the province on next steps.

More coming.
