Excavation Resumes At Edmonton's Former 'Indian Hospital'

Excavation crews, observed by members of the First Nations, started investigating 21 spots of interest at the site of the former Camsell Hospital. Second phase of excavation work began today at the site of the former Charles Camsell Hospital, the Edmonton facility that 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.
