Three days are set aside in the City for a hearing prior to the Reggie Bushie Inquest. An inquiry lawyer is planning to call a total of 5 witnesses to discuss the issue of First Nations representation on jury rolls in the Thunder Bay District. The inquest will examine the circumstances surrounding the death of the 15 year old with a hope that recommendations will be made on preventing similar deaths of First Nations students who attend school in the City far from their homes. The jury roll issue has so far prevented inquest from going ahead.Thursday, July 21, 2011
