Hi, I am Riya, a second-year student studying Communications at Thompson Rivers University(TRU). I am an international student from India and coming to Kamloops made me interested in the history of the place and its past with indigenous people. During this semester my investigative partner Macy will be mainly focusing on The Chinese Cemetery and its history. Our whole group is keen on researching and getting to know more about these places than we know. Throughout the semester we will be covering various landmarks such as the cemetery, Indian Residential School and Tranquille Sanatorium. Our main aim is to highlight the relevance of these places and their stories today and foster a deep understanding of their aftereffects on the community and their collective memories.
