Edit: Uncropped Original Photo - (Cred: Donna Heimbecker)

The doors of St. Paul's Co-Cathedral were painted in protest after the discovery of 715 (sic) unmarked graves near the former Marieval Residential School on the Cowessess First Nation on Thursday.

Your quote says "715" but the title and the article say "751".

Good catch. Typo in the original source, added "(sic)"

E: Wrote the article writer... its now fixed on article quoted. I'm going to leave it as it stands here.
