The offender, an Indigenous man with a history of trauma and a dangerous offender designation, pleaded guilty to breaching his Long-Term Supervision Order by being unlawfully at large.
The Crown sought a two-year sentence, while the defense sought time served.
The court considered the offender's significant rehabilitative efforts, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on his support systems, and his Gladue factors.
The court imposed a total sentence of eight months, reduced to 30 days of further incarceration after accounting for pre-sentence custody and harsh pandemic jail conditions, followed by 18 months of probation.
