Nishnawbe Aski Nation, several northern chiefs, and families with loved ones who died in the city say Thunder Bay police can no longer conduct credible investigations
TORONTO — First Nation leaders have renewed calls to dissolve the Thunder Bay police service as the former chief of the northern Ontario force faces criminal charges in a widening misconduct probe.
"We can't get our children back, but the province, Doug Ford, has the power to give us justice," Ostberg said. "If we can't have our loved ones, we want justice." "The Thunder Bay Police Service has turned into a cold-case factory," said Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, which represents 49 First Nations in northwestern Ontario.
The commission investigated allegations of misconduct in 2022 and charged Hauth under the Police Service Act for allegedly overseeing an improper criminal investigation into the former police board chair and then allegedly trying to cover up her involvement, but Hauth resigned just before she was set to go before a police oversight tribunal.
"We are simply not the same service," Fleury wrote in a statement. "Change and trust take time. Progress has been made, and more will come." "There's a new chief and there's a new police service board in Thunder Bay with good intentions to keep their community safe," Solicitor General Michael Kerzner said.
