After a six-year process, the Williams Lake Indigenous Court will be holding a virtual soft opening this Friday.
Samantha-Jo Dick, Executive Director of the Yeqox Nilin Justice Society, said due to COVID-19 they were unable to have their grand opening as planned back in May and explained what viewers will see during this virtual opening.
“Prerecorded videos of our Elders getting blanketed in their communities, Chief speeches, as well as the Chief Judge and Attorney General coming in via Zoom live to give their speech so we hope that this sets off our Elders in a good way with our ceremony and prepare them for the next few months to come”.
