Today, we unpack how 15-year-old Tina Fontaine had been failed by nearly every system designed to protect her, from child welfare agencies to police, in the weeks leading up to her death. After losing her father, Tina became increasingly vulnerable, cycling through shelters, police custody, and welfare services. Despite numerous opportunities for intervention, she was failed at every turn, and on August 17, 2014, her body was found in the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A chilling 911 call placed by Tina days before her death named a man later identified as Raymond Cormier- a man with a disturbing history and ties to Tina’s final days. Join us as we explore how systemic failures contributed to her death, the investigation that followed, and the controversial trial that left many without closure and as we highlight the powerful grassroots efforts that emerged in the aftermath. These organizations include Drag the Red, The Bear Clan Patrol, and Tina’s Safe Haven- all working to protect Indigenous youth and advocating for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
