Whitehorse — Yukon RCMP continue to appeal for information on death of Angel Carlick

Source: Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Angel Carlick went missing on May 26, 2007 in Whitehorse, and her remains were found in the Pilot Mountain Subdivision, outside of Whitehorse, on November 9, 2007.

Angel was only 19 and just about to graduate high school. She was a hard worker at a non-profit organization in Whitehorse, running a dinner program where she would cook meals for children. She enjoyed music and painting. Angel, a youth advocate, was involved in the community. She was caring and was seen as a big sister to her brother and loyal to her friends. Angel had a bright future ahead of her.

On the evening of May 26, Angel left a friend’s place and went to downtown Whitehorse on her bike. Later that night, she called her best friend from a payphone, making plans to join her friends.

She was last seen walking away from Main Street with one or several people. This was probably the last time anyone heard from her or saw her.

Nearly six months after she disappeared, Angel’s remains were discovered by a walker in a wooded area in Pilot Mountain, just north of Whitehorse. It is not known if she died in the area where her body was found.

Angel has not been forgotten and the investigation into her death continues. Angel’s family and friends are searching for answers, justice, and understanding. The police are actively using all available resources to find the person responsible.

Recently, the investigators have been working with the production team of the CBC podcast, Someone Knows Something, which will be available to listeners starting on September 18, with new episodes being released until October 30, 2023. The Yukon RCMP’s Historical Case Unit is encouraging anyone with information related to Angel’s case to come forward to progress the investigation further

Yukon RCMP’s Historical Case Unit works across the Territory on historical, suspicious deaths and historic homicides. If you have information about this crime please contact the Historical Case Unit directly via telephone (867) 667-5500 or email MDIV_HCU@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Rosetown RCMP reminds residents to exercise caution when buying/selling online

Rosetown RCMP would like to alert the public to a social media scam in the area.

The scammer lists high value items for sale on Facebook at a cheap price, and asks interested buyers to send a deposit or payment to hold the item for pick-up. Rosetown RCMP has determined the residents at the address provided by the seller don’t know the scammer/are unaware of the transaction, and that the items were never actually available.

Rosetown RCMP is working with Facebook to have the scammer’s account banned.

Saskatchewan residents are reminded to exercise caution when buying or selling items online.

  • Don’t pay for or send a deposit for an item you have not seen.
  • Do not give out personal or banking information to the buyer or seller.
  • Take screenshots of the advertisement, the buyer/seller’s contact information and your communications with them.
  • If meeting in-person, complete the transaction during daylight hours and in a public place with other people around.
  • Use common sense. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. If something seems suspicious about the buyer/seller, trust your instincts and walk away.
  • Inform the buy/sell site of any fraud or suspicious activity.

If you believe you are the victim of a fraud, report it to your local police service. Dial 310-RCMP to reach your local RCMP detachment. You can also report scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or https://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/report-signalez-eng.htm.

Dartmouth — Nova Scotia RCMP to apologize for historical use of street checks

Source: Royal Canadian Mounted Police

To inform an apology the Nova Scotia RCMP will be making to African Nova Scotians and all people of African descent for the harm caused by the historical use of street checks and for other interactions that’ve had a negative impact on the community, community consultation sessions are being held across the province; the first took place last night in Gibson Woods.

I know this apology is long overdue. And I acknowledge a lot of work needs to be done to start to rebuild the fractured relationship with the community,” says Assistant Commissioner Dennis Daley, Commanding Officer of the Nova Scotia RCMP. “That’s why it’s especially important we hear from those who will be affected by the apology; we need to get the apology right and pursue systemic change.

The 14 consultations, which were recommended by a steering committee struck to move the apology work forward, are being organized in African Nova Scotian communities. The sessions, which will also inform an action plan that will follow the apology, are being hosted by local residents and attended by members of the Nova Scotia RCMP‘s senior leadership team.

To ensure the upcoming apology – and the actions that follow – are meaningful, I’ve established a steering committee to provide guidance and support,” says Assistant Commissioner Daley. “The members’ expertise and leadership will help us reconcile with the Black community, with the hope of building back trust.

In addition to RCMP employees, the committee’s membership is comprised of community leaders, including:

  • Rev. Dr. Lennett Anderson
  • Elizabeth Cooke-Sumbu
  • Andrea Davis
  • Louise Delisle
  • Vanessa Fells
  • Alexander Fraser
  • Rose Fraser
  • Craig Gibson
  • Russell Grosse
  • Deacon Catherine Hartling
  • DeRico Symonds

Nova Scotia is steeped in a remarkable Black history that spans many centuries; it’s through this lens that we’ve begun the process of collaboration with senior RCMP leadership to help build a meaningful response to the practice of street checks and the development of an action plan,” says steering committee member Rev. Dr. Lennett Anderson. “We as Community understand the contention surrounding the issue and play a dual role in this work.

The apology and subsequent action plan will be drafted when the community consultations conclude in November; it’s expected the apology will be delivered in 2024.

    Greetings, friends, family and fellow members of the African Nova Scotian Communities and People of African descent living in Nova Scotia.

    My name is Rev. Dr. Lennett J. Anderson and I am pleased to be a part of a steering committee put in place by the Nova Scotia RCMP and the community members from across the province to address the issue of street checks in our province.

    Nova Scotia is steeped in a remarkable Black history that spans many centuries. It is through this lens that we have begun the process of collaboration with senior RCMP leadership to help build a meaningful response to the practice of street checks and the development of an Action Plan that with your input will address the issue and more.

    We as Community understand the contention surrounding the issue and play a dual role in this work.

    Today we continue our journey with the RCMP as this process begins to unfold in various communities over the coming months.

    [A/Comm. Dennis Daley is speaking directly to the camera. He’s flanked by steering committee members as piano music plays softly in the background]

    Hello, I’m Dennis Daley, Commanding Officer of the Nova Scotia RCMP.

    I’ll soon be apologizing to members of the African Nova Scotian communities, all people of African descent living in Nova Scotia, for the harm caused by our historical use of street checks, and for other interactions that have had a negative impact on the people we serve.

    [Series of shots of committee members sitting around a boardroom table and actively engaged in discussion]

    I know this apology is long overdue. And I acknowledge a lot of work needs to be done to start to rebuild the fractured relationship with the community.

    That’s why it’s especially important we get the apology right.

    To help correct our historic wrongs, I’ve established a steering committee of community leaders for guidance on our way forward; some of the community members are here with me today.

    [A/Comm. Dennis Daley is speaking directly to the camera, flanked by steering committee members]

    To make our apology and subsequent action plan meaningful to you, your families and friends, we want – and we need – to hear from you on our approach, as well as from others who are intimately connected to the African Nova Scotian communities.

    Over the summer and fall, I’ll be holding community consultation sessions, supported by the steering committee, across the province. In the next several months, I’ll be visiting communities in southwestern Nova Scotia, northeastern Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and the Halifax area.

    I hope you’ll consider giving us your feedback on the upcoming apology – it would be very helpful and very much appreciated.

    I’m committed to ensuring that the Nova Scotia RCMP does a better job of addressing systemic racism both inside and outside the organization. Our apology is the first step.
