THUNDER BAY – The first year response to recommendations from the inquest into the deaths of seven Indigenous youth in Thunder Bay is “disappointing,” say lawyers representing six of the seven families.
Scoring the progress of implementing the 145 recommendations at a C+ level, Aboriginal Legal Services released a report card grading and evaluating the response from the eight named parties on Wednesday.
The federal and provincial governments, along with the city of Thunder Bay and Nishnawbe Aski Nation, all scored below 70 per cent.
