FOG BLOG CANADA LOG: RENEWED CALLS FOR WINNIPEG LAND FILL SEARCH FOR 2 INDIGENOUS WOMEN!
Calls to search Winnipeg-area landfills renewed after Lake St. Martin First Nation woman's body found Feasibility study on Prairie Green landfill search expected in 4-6 weeks: Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Indigenous advocates and organizations are renewing calls for a search for human remains in Winnipeg-area landfills, after the discovery of a First Nations woman's body at the Brady Road landfill this week.
Staff at the south Winnipeg landfill discovered the remains of Linda Mary Beardy, a 33-year-old woman originally from Lake St. Martin First Nation, on Monday afternoon, police said.
"Many people call it a graveyard and we continue to put garbage there," said Cindy Woodhouse, the regional chief for Manitoba with the Assembly of First Nations, in an interview Tuesday, shortly after police announced the discovery at Brady Road.
"We know that it's a graveyard. And there's been so many other people, women that are missing. Where are they?"
Body of Lake St. Martin First Nation mother, 33, found at Winnipeg landfill
Operations at the Brady Road landfill operation have been paused while investigators work there, police said Tuesday.
The landfill was closed for several weeks in December and January, during protests and calls for a site-wide search for the remains of missing people. That came after police announced more charges against a man already accused in the death of Rebecca Contois, whose partial remains were found at Brady Road last June.
