Hamilton's Christ's Church Cathedral wants to dig up and relocate the remains of about 400 people —including those of many teens and children — buried under a parking lot to make way for a multi-million dollar condo and retail project. Peter Wall told councillors today the Niagara Anglican diocese would like to identify and remove the bodies, now buried in "asphalt hell," beneath the parking lot of the James Street North church. Hamilton's Christ's Church Cathedral congregation dates back to 1835, and the current cathedral to 1873. (Christ's Church Cathedral)The diocese has already hired an archaeological firm to help with the project, Wall said. The parking lot is to the rear of Christ's Church Cathedral.
