Ontario’s Chief Coroner is ordering a joint inquest into the deaths of seven First Nations young people in Thunder Bay. All seven died after leaving their home communities to come to the city to go to high school. The deaths happened between 2000 and 2011. The inquest jury could be able to make recommendations aimed at preventing anymore deaths in a similar way. No date has been set for the inquest.
