PHOTOS: Students create memorial to commemorate children found in unmarked graves

Students tie 215 carnations to fence outside school

Students from Surrey Centre created a memorial to the 215 children recently discovered in unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential school.

The grandmother of students Kaylie and Trinity Ooraq previously worked for the company that donated the carnations. However, the company did not want to be recognized.

Each class took turns tying carnations to the fence with orange ribbons throughout the course of the day.
