Excavation Resumes At Edmonton's Former 'Indian Hospital'

Second phase of excavation work began today at the site of the former Charles Camsell Hospital, and will take a close look at 21 detected anomalies. The former Charles Camsell Hospital for decades was used to treat Indigenous people with tuberculosis. First Nation members have been calling for construction to stop at the grounds where many believe patients may have been buried. The search is being funded by the property's developer.
