Book launch pulled in light of the anniversary of Neil Stonechild’s death
Saskatoon bookstore has pulled a scheduled book launch out of respect after realizing the date fell on the 25th anniversary of a freezing death at the centre of the book.
On Wed., Nov. 25, McNally Robinson planned to host author Candis McLean and her new book titled “When Police Become Prey: the cold, hard facts of Neil Stonechild’s freezing death.”
However, they pulled the event after realizing the coincidence that the event landed on the 25th anniversary of Stonechild’s death.
Events coordinator Marcy Hildebrand said they didn’t realize the upsetting coincidence of the event date.
