Grand Council Treaty Three is questioning the use of excessive force
by the OPP in a shooting incident in downtown Kenora this past Monday.
39 year old Helen Proulx from Grassy Narrows was shot twice outside an apartment building
after brandishing a knife.
Treaty Three says the city is infamous for its poor relations between
aboriginal residents and the police.
A candle light vigil is scheduled to take place this evening on 1st Street South
in support of her family.
The investigation is now in the hands of the SIU and Treaty Three says it
wants the investigation into the shooting incident to be transparent and
procedurally fair.
