Members of the Ralph Rowe Survivor Network will gather in North Caribou Lake First Nation this November to demolish the old Anglican mission house where Rowe worked as a priest and scoutsmaster.

Nishnawbe Aski Nation communications officer Jenna Young said the demolition is part of a process to give the sexual abuse survivors closure. “The survivors would have an opportunity to have a go at tearing the building down,” she said.

Heavy machinery is also going to be used as part of the process, she added.
