The MGEU has issued the following statement in response to the tragic incident at the Headingly Correctional Centre:
We extend our condolences to Mr. Ahmo’s family and loved ones. It is critical that there be a formal investigation to find out what happened, and that the investigation is completed before we draw conclusions. It is also important that the province makes counselling resources available to all involved. As the union, MGEU will fulfil our responsibility to ensure that Correctional Officers involved are treated fairly throughout the process.
