Sask. Indigenous couple finds reclamation climbing hill used to punish residential school kids

WNews Banner

You won’t find mountains in Saskatchewan, but one couple has scaled a personal Mount Everest on the Prairies.

Philip and Michelle Brass, who live on the Peepeekisis First Nation in Saskatchewan, each climbed to the top of the Qu’Appelle Valley a couple hundred times over the course of a year.

Although it’s not as well known as Everest, the couple chose a hill with a well-known history.

The Lebret hill is nestled in the Qu’Appelle Valley. There’s a small chapel three-quarters of the way up and the stations of the cross mark the steep pathway.

On top of fitness, Philip and Michelle’s
