	Group Turns up Heat on Catholic Church CKNW - AM980 January 13, 2008 http://www.cknw.com/news/news_local.cfm?cat=7428218912&rem=83323&red=80121823a PBIny&wids=410&gi=1&gm=news_local.cfm VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - A confrontation outside a Cathedral in downtown Vancouver brings up, once again, the plight of aboriginal children housed in residential schools across Canada. "I was raped by a Catholic priest in the residential school." Rick Lavallie and others gathered outside Holy Rosary Cathedral Sunday morning to demand the Catholic Church identify burial sites, where they claim abused children lie. Organizer Kevin Annett says they are demanding that these burial sites be exposed and that the remains be returned, "If you do a conservative estimate, then you're talking at least 50-thousand children. In Canada, over a century, which isn't that many every year you'd only need 10 deaths a year in every residential for that level to be reached." The last residential school in Canada closed in 1990.
