Donna Bartlett, whose granddaughter Marcedes Myran's remains are believed to be in a Winnipeg-area landfill, hugs supporter Kelly Ross at a news conference Thursday about an upcoming search for Myran's remains.

Family 'elated' landfill search for women's remains will start soon, grandmother says | CBC News LoadedWhen Donna Bartlett returned this week to the landfill where her granddaughter’s remains are believed to be buried, she was again overcome with emotion. But this time it was different — because she knew a search to bring those remains home will soon begin.

Bartlett spoke at a news conference outside the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on Thursday, two days after Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said the province had approved an environmental licence change needed to move forward with the landfill search. Premier Kinew gave the women's relatives an outline of how the search will be run, she said, with plans to create an advisory committee that will include family members."I'm getting a little bit emotional, because it's been a hard journey — a very hard journey to go. We should have never had to go through it, but we did it," she said.

"I know they want her home too," she said. "And it's hard listening to that, you know, and you have to be strong. You can't break down and cry, not with the children there."
