About 150 people gathered Saturday to show their support for the family of Colten Boushie, and call for changes to the Canadian justice system during a vigil held in Thunder Bay's Hillcrest Park. The Thunder Bay gathering was one of several that took place across Canada the day after a Saskatchewan jury found Gerald Stanley, 56, not guilty in the 2016 shooting death of the 22-year-old Boushie. "It made me feel really good that people came out to show their support and to stand in solidarity with Colten Boushie's family," said Jana-Rae Yerxa, one of the organizers of the Thunder Bay vigil. "I think the support is important ... but I wish that there didn't have to be a call to action for Colten Boushie." "When we gather in these peaceful vigils, we are saying that we need to stand together, that this is not allowed anymore."
