A press conference will be held at the media studio inside the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on Regis’ Anniversary Death May 27th from 9 to 9:30 AM. This moment is an important opportunity to bring public attention to the inquest process for this police involved death and the broader demands for accountability, transparency, and systemic change.
Family members, along with their advocates, will be speaking directly to the public and media. Their voices remain central to this work. For years, they have carried the weight of grief while continuing to demand answers, justice, and meaningful change. This press conference creates space for them to speak on their own terms—about the impacts of loss, the failures of existing systems, and the urgent need for alternatives that prioritize care and safety.
The upcoming inquest is a critical public process. Coroner’s inquests are meant to examine the circumstances surrounding a death and to generate recommendations aimed at preventing future harm. But for families, they are also about truth-telling, recognition, and ensuring that what happened is neither minimized nor forgotten.
This press conference at Queen’s Park signals that the community will be watching closely. It affirms that the inquest is not just a legal procedure—it is part of a broader struggle for justice led by families, communities, and advocates across Canada.
We invite community members, allies, and media to pay attention, share this moment, and continue to stand with the family.
Justice for Regis. Always.
