Goodrich is not a member of the O’chiese First Nation
Hi there, I have just got off the phone with RCMP to get some clarification on that. I will change the wording to “a resident of the O’Chiese First Nation” and not as being “from”. They explained to me the difference that that’s where he was residing, at least at the time of the offence. We will do that in our story writing as well moving forward. Thank You for pointing it out. We appreciate that and have now learned something new. Best Regards, Sheldon Spackman, News Director, rdnewsNOW.com, Red Deer, AB, 403-342-6397, news@rdnewsNOW.com.
