The Province has unveiled more details regarding the Search of the Prairie Green Landfill for the remains of 2 Indigenous women.
Premier Wab Kinew Spoke at 1 pm this afternoon, accompanied by Amna Mackin, assistant deputy minister of cabinet delivery, who detailed the 5-stage plan for the search.
The assessments of cost and risk were stage 1, which is complete. According to Mackin, we're a week into stage 2, detailed planning to narrow down the location and depth of where the remains might be and construct infrastructure for the search.
Stage 3 is where Waste moving starts, carefully excavating the area to locate the remains. there's a lot of waste above the area, and finding items with dates matching the times estimated from the Skibicki trial to help confirm the proper depth.
Stage 4 is scheduled for late fall, where a thorough search will be done when the target depth is reached. Teams will then take materials, spread them across the constructed search area, and sift through for clues and remains.
Stage 5 is a contingent plan, in case the remains are not located.
Premier Wab Kinew also stated his admiration of the Families of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran in their advocacy other the past years, and their offers to be trained to assist in the seach.
A healing center will also be constructed nearby to ensure space for appropriate cultural ceremonies and spiritual healing.
