The Mayor of St.Catharines says he will be reaching out to the Prime Minister to express his opposition over the CBC's plans to film a TV series about serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo.
Walter Sendzik has sent a letter to the CBC regarding the proposed Fifth Estate series on St.Catharines native Bernardo.
He says Bernardo left a deep scar on the entire Niagara community, and while he respects the shows' investigative journalism, there is nothing to be gained by producing a series about a heinous person.
Sendzik is asking CBC President and CEO Catherine Tait and the producers of the show to seriously reconsider their decision and the impact the series would have on the victim's families.
He says he is making the request as a show of support for Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy and all of those who have been impacted by Bernardo's crimes.
