It has been six days since Tristen Durocher began a hunger strike in a tipi set up on a green space across from the legislative building in Regina.

The Walking With Our Angels camp is still up after Regina police and officials of the Provincial Capital Commission ordered Durocher and his team to tear down their structures.

Durocher says he is committed to seeing through his goal of pushing the government to pass legislation to properly create a suicide prevention strategy for the province, but it has been a frustrating process so far.

He says the premier didn’t have the courage to greet him on the steps of the legislature. He says he will stay as long as it takes.

He mentioned that he was handed a court summons for a court date in November by officials over the weekend.
