Community Update to Haida Gwaii

RE: Community Update to Haida Gwaii

With support of the family of Luke Pearson we would like to reassure the people of Haida Gwaii that the family, the Council of the Haida Nation and Skidegate Band Council are all in full support of the RCMP Major Crime Unit investigation taking place.  The family and Haida leadership are in regular communication with the RCMP and are receiving regular updates as the investigation progresses. 

We are all fully aware of the process and all the steps necessary to ensure that all evidence is gathered carefully and methodically to support a strong case for conviction. 

If anyone has any information that can support the investigation, please contact the Daajing Giids RCMP at 250-559-4421.

At this time, please focus on supporting the family and one another while remembering all of the goodness of Luke.  To all who knew Luke, he was a kind, generous, caring and innocent Haida man.
