A look back 2020: Tristen Durocher
One of the most impactful northern stories of 2020 is a single man’s quest to raise awareness to high rates of suicide in Northern Saskatchewan.
In July Tristen Durocher walked from Air Ronge to Regina, as he was not pleased with the provincial government’s suicide prevention plan, alleging it did not go far enough.
When reaching the Legislature in late July, Durocher setup a teepee on the west lawn, as a demonstration calling for greater action.
He would fast there for 44-days, each day representing a Sask. Party MLA who voted against NDP MLA Doyle Vermette’s private members bill call for the creation of a suicide plan.
REGINA A Regina judge will be reviewed by his peers for visiting a protest camp earlier this year. Justice Graeme Mitchell ruled against the Government of Saskatchewan in September, after it sought to have a suicide prevention advocate and his tipi removed from Wascana Park. Mitchell provided his ruling on Sept. 11, and visited Tristen Durocher’s protest site on Sept. 13. Mitchell said in his ruling that Durocher’s right to protest was protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Now, The Canadian Judicial Council says a panel will look into these action. “Under council’s bylaws, a Judicial Conduct Review Panel may be established when it is determined that a complaint might be serious enough to warrant the removal of the judge,” a release from the council said Tuesday.
