Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - January 27 2025 - Financial records from Blacklock's Reporter reveal that publicists and consultants received millions for the recovery of probable children's graves at a British Columbia Indian Residential School.
The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations attempted to suppress the Access to Information Act records, but the government has since released them.
