Brandon Indian Residential School

[1] From 1895 to 1925, the Mission Board of the Methodist Church initially managed the school, intended for children from north of Lake Winnipeg.

The United Church of Canada ran the school 1925 to 1969, and the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate from 1969 to 1972.

[3] The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada found that over 120 years between 3,200 and 6,000 children died at the Residential Schools.

The vast majority of deaths were due to tuberculosis and occurred prior to the development of the TB vaccine.

[5] A statement by SVDN Chief Jennifer Bone said that the project had identified 104 ground disturbances that may be potential graves in three cemeteries.
