Bear Clan, North End street patrol, earns kudos after Cooper Nemeth search, smudge

A North End community group is gaining wide support online for its efforts to help find 17-year-old Cooper Nemeth, whose body was found last weekend. A 22-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder.

The street patrol group called the Bear Clan spent countless hours searching for Nemeth and in the end, honoured him in a smudge ceremony.

The group's search for the teen, who had been missing for a week, is now sparking seeds of hope in both the indigenous and non-indigenous community.
