Vancouver officers absent from apology ceremony over wrongful arrest of Indigenous man, granddaughter

Const. Mitchel Tong and Const. Canon Wong, the two Vancouver police officers who wrongfully arrested an Indigenous man and his granddaughter at a bank in December 2019, have failed to attend a planned apology ceremony in Heiltsuk Nation. Neetu Garcha reports on the community’s “deep disappointment” in the officers’ absence, and how the ceremony will now honour the girl and her grandfather, Maxwell Johnson.
