LEGAL FEES FOR ERROL GREENE INQUEST
"
We're raising funds for the ongoing legal costs associated with the inquest into Errol Greene's death happening later in 2017. The inquest will come before the civil suit, and only the latter will be pro-bono. There is a chance that the civil suit, if won, could include damages for the costs of legal representation in the inquest. However, we would also need to put money raised here towards other costs that will not be covered during the inquest, such as childcare, transportation, etc. The legal costs are impossible to estimate but could be up to $25,000."

• Caring for each other
• Sharing what we have with our neighbours
• Keeping our community safe
• Calling for help when needed
• Building trust in our neighbourhood
• Seven sacred teachings: Wisdom, Respect, Truth, Honesty, Humility, Love, Courage
