Technicians complete ground penetrating radar search at McGill

News

Technicians have wrapped up a ground-penetrating radar search in front of McGill University’s Hersey Pavillion. The data from the search will be used to help determine if historical unmarked graves of Indigenous children are located at the site. “You can’t just look at the ground penetrating radar data and say there are unmarked graves,” said Peter Takacs of Geoscan, the company completing the scans. “You need to know the local geology, the history of the site, so it’s a very complex sort of analysis.” Takacs said that it will take around a month for the analysis to become available.
