SASKATOON – The Commission on First Nations and Métis Peoples and Justice Reform is holding a Town Hall Meeting in Regina on Monday, March 17.

This event will be an opportunity for members of the community to speak on any issue relating to justice. The two-hour session will be very informal with the agenda to be determined largely by the participants.

"This is the first time we have held a dialogue using this format," explains Willie Littlechild, chair of the Justice Reform Commission. "We are hoping people will get up, make comments or ask questions and as chair I am very excited about the chance to hear what is on the minds of people from Regina and the surrounding communities."

Since there is no specific agenda, speakers are free to address issues ranging from policing, court services, domestic violence and Legal Aid.

The moderator for the Town Hall Meeting is Ernest Lavallee of the Regina Friendship Centre.

The Town Hall Meeting will be held from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church, 1475 Athol Street.
