TRC appears before Senate Committee

Justice Murray Sinclair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and commissioners Wilton Littlechild (left) and Marie Wilson, appeared before Senate Standing Committee on Aboriginal Peoples on Sept. 28. The commissioners appeared to provide an update on the progress of the TRC. Sinclair talked about the first national event held to tell the stories of residential school victims held in Winnipeg in June, the advancement of the working relationship with church officials “who embrace our mission and actively participate in the process of reconciliation” and the recognition of the TRC by the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues as a model of best practices and an inspiration for other countries.
