How can we cover Robert Saunders’ upcoming trial in a good way?

We’re getting ready to cover the Robert Riley Saunders’ trial and we want to do it in a way that serves our community.

The former social worker has been arrested and is due to appear in a Kelowna courtroom this week. He’s been accused of stealing from dozens of — mostly Indigenous — youth in the child welfare system.

As we prepare to cover Robert Saunders’ trial, we want to hear from you:

1. As this trial unfolds, what kind of information would be useful to you?

2. Whose voices do you hope to see amplified and how can we do this in a good way?

3. How can we honour the Indigenous youth who Saunders is accused of exploiting?
