Guest Speaker – Dr. Anne Lindsay, Noted Historian
Dr. Lindsay is a settler scholar, archivist and historian who is currently involved in several efforts to identify and honour the children buried in Residential School cemeteries. She initially came to our attention through the Friends of St. John’s Cathedral Cemetery for the assistance she is giving there in identifying some of the early unmarked graves in one of Winnipeg’s oldest cemeteries.
People in our association will be especially interested in hearing more about a recent discovery of an early grave from 1813 of settler Hector Maclean who died the first year in the settlement.
