The cemetery officials confirmed Leo will remain at rest in Willow Park and I am still struggling to process the news. This result belongs entirely to the 2,829 of you who cared enough to step up and honor his final wishes. Please keep watching the space to ensure his peace …
We, the Undersigned, protest the disinterment of Constable
Lionide Johnston from his resting place at Willow Park Cemetery in Lac
La Biche based on the belief that it goes against his expressed desire
to be buried in Lac La Biche and against his cultural and spiritual
beliefs as an aboriginal person.
(note - once you fill in the fields on the petition, please only click on the \"sign petition\" button once, that is all that is needed. There is no need for any donations. We have had instances of people signing the petition many times because of some confusion - thank you again)
**please note that this is a petition collecting signatures of people who disagree with the disinternment of Leo. If you agree with it that is your right, but this is NOT a discussion forum so please do not bother to sign the petition if you are not in favour of the petitions purpose.
I truly never imagined that one thousand people would care enough to sign this. This response belongs entirely to you and the respect you have for Leo.

This is just so disrespectful to his memory. Let the man rest where he chose to be buried. So wrong.

Leave him alone. He served his community and deserves some peace after all these years.

My grandfather knew him. He wanted to be there in the ground in Lac La Biche. Dont change that now.

Stop messing with his final wishes. It isnt right to move him against what he wanted.
