Dear Supporters,

A week ago today Bruce surrendered into custody at the Dryden OPP station. He was first moved to the Kenora jail, and later to the minimum security Correctional Center in Thunder Bay.

SCC Appeal Application:

Bruce's lawyer Douglas Christie is working on an application for leave to appeal last Thursday's ruling at the Supreme Court of Canada.

Hopefully Bruce will be granted bail pending appeal. But it will probably take 4-8 weeks to get bail, and there's a significant chance it won't be granted given the attitude of the court and the crown.

Sending Letters to Bruce:

In the meantime, Bruce can use encouragement and your letters would help the guards to realize that Bruce is an honest and community-minded citizen with supporters across the country.

Note that all mail is read and approved by the guards before it gets to Bruce.

Bruce Montague
c/o Thunder Bay Correctional Centre
Hwy 61 S.
Box 1900
Thunder Bay, ON
P7C 4Y4

Visiting Bruce in Thunder Bay:

Please coordinate all visits with Donna at 807-937-2197. Bruce is allowed two 1 hour visits per week. Donna will let you know if Bruce has maxed out his visiting quota before you make the trip. Also Donna would be quite upset to drive 4 hours each way to Thunder Bay only to find that Bruce doesn’t have any visits left because of an unscheduled visit.

Again on behalf of the Montagues and all liberty-minded Canadians thank you for you ongoing support!

Yours in Liberty,

Ryan (for the Case Management Team)
