A string of failures by authorities preceded, and followed, the 2022 stabbing spree on James Smith Cree Nation but authorities don't think they played a role in the outcome.
The jury made 14 recommendations including establishing a national alerting system and more support for offenders after they are released into a community.
The RCMP response to Myles Sanderson's 2022 murder spree has been scrutinized during the first week of the inquest into the event – with failings put under the microscope.
James Smith Cree Nation Chief Wally Burns says the inquest will likely bring back trauma for community members, but he hopes it will also help with healing.
