Ontario Government

Ontario government: Others are identified by numbers scrawled on small slabs of concrete hidden amid overgrown grass, according to The Star. But that may soon change. On Tuesday, the Ontario government settled a historic class-action lawsuit with former residents of Huronia. The terms include $35 million, a formal apology and a promise to maintain the cemetery and create a registry of all those buried there and Most of the 2,000 children and adults buried in the unkempt field across from Huronia Regional Centre were laid to rest in unmarked graves. For former residents of the government-run institution for the developmentally delayed in Orillia, the cemetery has served as a painful reminder of the neglect and abuse they have long insisted occurred there.
