We have decided to hold a protest outside the OPP offices as CLAN member Debra Wooby has had her case discontinued by the OPP due to the state of limitations.

CLAN and Debra are angry and devastated that the perpetrator will not stand trial and she will not be able to receive justice for the horrific crimes committed against her as a 13 year old girl.

Please show your support and wear your CLAN badges. You can follow Debra's story on the links below.
