flag St. Albert approved selling land near a former residential school despite Indigenous opposition and unconfirmed grave risks.

flag St. Albert has approved selling land near the former St. Albert Youville Residential School, despite Métis community opposition and concerns over potential unmarked graves. flag The site, designated Level 5 for cultural significance, was home to a school operating from 1873 to 1948 and is linked to Indigenous children’s displacement. flag Critics say the city failed to consult Indigenous groups before the 4-3 council vote, undermining reconciliation efforts. flag While officials acknowledge the area’s history and plan to update records, no excavations have been done, and the sale proceeds without safeguards for cultural heritage.
