Sep 28, 2022 | 9:50 AM

Gov. Gen. Mary Simon is to visit the Saskatchewan community today that is grieving the deaths of loved ones from a stabbing rampage earlier this month.

A release from her office says Simon will meet with James Smith Cree Nation community members, including elders, and share her condolences directly with affected families.

A spokesperson from her office says she was invited by Chief Wally Burns.

Ten people were killed on Sept. 4 and 18 others injured in the First Nation and a nearby village about 200 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.

First Nation leaders say the community knew Damien and Myles Sanderson, the suspects in the stabbings.
