| Protesters gathered outside a Toronto church demanding to know where First Nations children who attended residential schools are buried. |
The group planned protests in front of Anglican and Roman Catholic churches to pressure the government to disclose where children from First Nations communities may have been buried after attending residential schools.
The deaths occurred over a century, protesters said. Residential schools have been accused of a number of human rights violations including physical and sexual abuse.
Protesters are using Access to Information laws to help them find the locations of the alleged burial grounds and have written a letter to the office of Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean.
Protesters are asking Ottawa and churches to return the childrens' remains.
