Guides ‘subpoenaed’ to attend Law Day

  • Apr. 13, 2011 8:00 a.m.

Grade 6 Guides and Grade 7 Pathfinders from across Monashee Area, including the North Okanagan, will be assembled into small groups for Kelowna Law Day and each group has a “crime” to commit.

The girls will commit their crime and promptly be “arrested” by a member of the RCMP. The RCMP will then “book” the girls, and they will be taken to the holding cells by a Sheriff. Lawyers from Kelowna will be in attendance, “prosecuting” and “defending” the girls in the court room; a judge will hear the evidence and ask the jury for their verdict.

This educational event takes place today from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kelowna Court House, 1355 Water St.
