Two Catholic churches on Indigenous land in the southern Okanagan were destroyed by fire, after shock waves continue from the discovery of 215 unidentified graves near the old Kamloops Indian Residential School.
As per Canadian Police, they are treating fire that destroyed two Catholic churches named Sacred Heart Church and St Gregory's Church.
Reportedly, the two churches were built more than 100 years ago, located about 40km (25 miles) apart in the western province.

The institutions were often run by the Roman Catholic Church.
