THUNDER BAY – An expert panel convened to review policing in Thunder Bay heard from just two members of the public in the first of two open consultations Tuesday evening.
That includes meetings with First Nations chief and grand chiefs, current and former Thunder Bay Police Service officers, civilian staff, and members of the police services board, and residents, panel members said. The panel was convened by the board as the service faced growing questions about how it has investigated the deaths of Indigenous people, human rights complaints from current and former officers and other staff, and investigations by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission and OPP into police leadership.
In an interview, Mukherjee said that sentiment has been heard loud and clear, and raised the bar for the panel to provide timely and practical recommendations for change. Panel member Mi’Azhikwan, or Janine Seymour, said she hopes to see a bigger turnout at the public consultation on Wednesday. She noted there are emotional supports available, with several elders including a social worker in attendance.“We’ve really accommodated a lot of people who have been forthcoming from the community, although they have wanted to have the private space to share what they needed to say, and we’ve respected that.
