A woman is staging a protest of sorts outside the Regina police station in her ongoing attempt to get answers to her questions about her son's death.
Richelle Dubois parked her van outside the station on Monday night and was still there on Tuesday, her windshield covered in posters bearing her son's photo and the caption "My Life Matters."
Her 14-year old son, Haven Dubois, was found dead in a creek in May 2015.
A coroner's report concluded he drowned accidentally but that his drug use was a significant factor.
Richelle Dubois has said there is a mistake in the report and also said she questions the extent of the investigation.
Dubois, who wants a meeting with police, alleges she is being treated unfairly because she is aboriginal.
"It could be racially motivated," she says. "I feel I was mistreated, I feel that I was given the run-around, I feel that I wasn't taken seriously because I'm First Nation."
She says there may be new information and evidence that should be investigated.
"It totally is suspicious," she says, contending she has received new information that contradicts the coroner's report.
The Regina Police Service says it has had at least two discussions with Dubious in the past and has plans to meet with her next week.
Deputy police Chief Dean Rae believes officers have conducted a thorough investigation in conjunction with the coroner.
He says it's not their practice to publicly release reports since they have to protect third-party individuals who provide information in the case.
Rae says he is offering to meet with Dubois and her family and make available a redacted version of the report, with police there to answer any questions surrounding the investigation.
However, the deputy chief says he cannot provide a copy of the redacted report to Dubois, though he welcomes any new information Dubois may have.
The coroner's report outlines interviews with Haven's friends, who said they skipped a school job fair the day he died and started smoking marijuana.
They said he started ``freaking out'' after smoking the drug, and described him spinning in circles and rolling on the ground.
The coroner noted that the effects of the drug can vary considerably and are subject to the age and experience of the user. The report also said that "even in low doses, marijuana can precipitate a panic reaction and irrational behaviour."
