More than nine months after ancient human remains were discovered in a Riverdale neighbourhood, the city has spent nearly $200,000 monitoring the location.
The city has paid nearly $200,000 for 24/7 monitoring of the site where ancient remains were found, but can't say what progress has been made following the January discovery.
“I’m very appalled that nobody is looking at this like a serious matter. We have three people, they’re people, they’re individuals who are laying in very terrible conditions,” said Hill-Montour who acts at the next of kin to advocate for ancestors when they become unearthed. “It’s completely disrespectful.”
The city’s media department refused an interview with the divisional head overseeing the process and wouldn’t say how many or which First Nations groups it had contacted, nor would it provide clarity on why the process is taking so long. But McQuillan said all First Nations identified with interests related to traditional territory at the site have been contacted by the city and its archaeological consultant.
