This question resolves YES if at then end of calendar year 2024 local media (LaPresse or The Montreal Gazette) reports archaeological excavations at the site have located any unmarked graves associated with the MK-ULTRA program. If no graves are identified, then question resolves NO.

If graves are identified, but not yet designated as related to the period 1957-1964, then the question will be extended until such time as they are declared related or not but the relevant authorities. If the excavations unexpectedly continue into 2025 then the question will be extended.

I will not bet on this question.

Background:

McGill University has been conducting excavations on the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital for the construction of a new University building. The hospital site also housed the former Alan Memorial Institute, a psychiatric hospital where between 1957 and 1964 Director Donald Ewen Cameron conducted experiments on patients as part of the CIA's MKUltra program (The Montreal Experiments were subproject 68 of the Program).

A local Mohawk advocacy group, The Mohawk Mothers, has raised objections to the excavations at the site due to potential presence of unmarked graves at the site associated with the MK Ultra experiments. The Quebec Superior Court granted an injunction to pause the excavations in October 2022 until archaeological investigations take place. Cadaver dogs identified the scent of human remains at the site in June of 2023. Archaeological investigation is ongoing and due to be completed in spring/summer of 2024.
