No comment from provincial ministries, forest company to 87 non-binding recommendations
The father of the first of five people to die during the blastomycosis outbreak in Constance Lake First Nation is happy with the 79 recommendations from the coroner’s inquest.
Although Arhur Moore, whose son Luke was 43 when he died in November 2021 after being misdiagnosed with pneumonia, says the community will need to be “diligent” to make sure the 21-day inquest brings about change.
“Although the recommendations are non-binding, the people are awakened,” he said.
