CHANGING TRESPASSING LAWS IN SASKATCHEWAN

   The Saskatchewan throne speech last month included a reference to changing trespassing laws to 'better address the appropriate balance between the rights of rural landowners and members of the public'
   The province has already sought public input on whether access to rural property should require prior permission from a landowner, regardless of the activity, and if not doing so should be illegal.  
     A lawyer representing the family of Colten Boushie, an Indigenous man fatally shot by farmer Gerald Stanley in August 2016, said she is worried the Saskatchewan Party government is engaged in political posturing which could stoke racial fear.
