Mounties investigating historical death at children’s home in northern Saskatchewan

Jul 28, 2021 | 3:47 PM

REGINA — Mounties say they are investigating allegations someone died in 1974 at a northern Saskatchewan home where children who went to residential school lived.

RCMP say they received a complaint in October that a person had died at the Timber Bay Children’s Home near Lac La Ronge, about 340 kilometres north of Saskatoon.

The home was not considered a residential school, but it housed Indigenous children who attended the schools. 

RCMP say they obtained a recorded statement in July and the historical case unit is investigating. 

No charges have been laid.
