THUNDER BAY – Seven years after the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls delivered its final report, the federal government’s own reporting tool shows only two Calls for Justice fully completed, 136 underway and 82 pending.
For Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario, this is not an abstract national file: Thunder Bay is a regional service, court, health, transportation and education hub for many First Nations, and Indigenous people made up 14.1 per cent of the city’s population in the 2021 census, compared with 2.9 per cent in Ontario as a whole.
