Truth and Reconciliation Library Display

Truth and Reconciliation Library Display

In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Law Library has created a book display with materials acknowledging Indigenous legal histories and calls for justice.  

Within the display, you will also find the waistcoat and sash worn by the first Indigenous Appellate Court Judge, Justice Harry S. Laforme. In addition to this is the official paper declaration of Justice LaForme becoming the Chairperson for the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission. 

This collection can be found at the entrance of the library and will be displayed until the end of next week.
