O'Day discusses Trevor Harris and changes to be made to get the Riders back to the Grey Cup.
Demonstrators calling for an effective suicide prevention strategy were met by police at their protest camp on the grounds of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building on Sunday morning.
The camp was set up Friday when 24-year-old Tristen Durocher completed a 600-kilometre walk to raise awareness of the issue.
Durocher plans to hold a hunger strike in Wascana Park, where protesters have also erected a tipi.
Protesters told 980 CJME that officers came by at approximately 5 a.m., telling them to take down the encampment.
According to an email from the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations that morning, several people were charged with violating bylaws.
On the Facebook page, “Walking With Our Angels,” a post attributed to Durocher reads, “they did not enforce the bylaw this morning because unharmed, unmoved, unintimidated we remain.”
More to come.
