CROSS LAKE, MAN. — A First Nation community in northern Manitoba says ground-penetrating radar has found 150 anomalies at the site of a former residential school, along with 37 anomalies more than a kilometre away and 59 unmarked graves at a nearby cemetery.

The anomalies — places where the ground has been disturbed — were found at depths of between one and two metres. The discovery means work is now needed to determine whether some of the anomalies are unmarked burial sites, the chief of Pimicikamak Cree Nation said Wednesday.
