Everyone has done a fabulous job in working to have the charges dropped and need to be congratulated. It was a wonderful accomplishment. It is important too that we recognize all the work and effort that Don Morgan put into supporting those who were charged.
The day that Keith and Ina Wood were called by the OPP and told to turn themselves in within the hour, Don went to the police station and arranged for Keith and Ina to turn themselves in on a later day, decreasing their anxiety by giving them time to speak to their lawyer and minister, etc.
He also made an effort to make sure that all those charged had lawyers and followed up with calls to ensure that their questions were being addressed and that they were confident with their lawyers.
In addition, when the group of six were arrested, Don was at the police station again, successfully making the case for the police to limit the conditions put upon those arrested.
He worked tirelessly to have the charges dropped with continuous contacts to the officers of the Attorney General and the Premier. He also worked as a liaison between some of those charged and their lawyers – keeping up with any new developments and passing the information on.
Like many people that are working behind the scenes with Site 41, there are probably other actions that Don has been responsible for that we are not even aware of – but there is enough listed here for us to feel an immense gratitude for all that he has contributed.
There were many worrisome and fretful moments for those arrested and their loved ones and we all extend our heartfelt appreciation to Don for all of his support and hard work.
