News article on 200 bodies found at the school

https://www.castanet.net/news/Kamloops/335241/Remains-of-215-children-found-at-former-residential-school-in-British-Columbia#335241

May 26, 2021 article on 200 child bodies buried at the school. Questions

  1. What church denomination ran the school?
  2. What records are there of the children deaths?
  3. Is there a past government inquiry of the school?

According to this CNN article, it was run by the Catholic Church from its opening until the 1960s. (see https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/28/world/children-remains-discovered-canada-kamloops-school/index.html). A report was done in 2015 by the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission which reported on issues of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The report estimates 4000 children died but there was no mention about the records documenting the deaths. Though the article does not talk about a new investigation, I imagine with the finding of the bodies, there will be an additional investigation. Jurisdicta (talk) 04:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
reports states that 4000 children died in the NATIONWIDE SYSTEM, i believe, not in this one school alone! 66.30.47.138 (talk) 02:35, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
@66.30.47.138 Thank you for clarifying that, as I was wondering how large the enrollment was. Are there any figures on the total enrollment over the period? Wakelamp db (talk) 23:24, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Removed text

"In 1962, the dancers were awarded the Norman Day Confederation Life shield, after taking the first three places in an under-18 folk dancing competition at the Okanagan Music Festival.

Trying for WP:DUE. Currently article lists awards then right at the end casually mentions physical abuse. Will need more work, but currently cutting this paragraph.
