OPP Charge Daily Miner

The editor and the publisher of the Kenora Daily Miner and News have been charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

After a lengthy investigation, the OPP laid the charges after receiving a complaint that the local newspaper had published a photograph of a youth who was charged with a criminal offense.

Shelley Garr is a spokesperson for the OPP in Thunder Bay and says a couple of charges have been laid in this incident.

They are due to appear in Kenora Court on November 9th to answer the charges.
