On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we encourage everyone to reflect on the words Every Child Matters. Today and every day, we should honour the children who never returned home, recognize the trauma and losses experienced by Indigenous Peoples, and have meaningful conversations so that we educate ourselves on the Calls to Action of the TRC and begin putting reconciliation into action as allies.
Today, lawyers and staff came together to reflect on what reconciliation means for us as a firm, and to reaffirm our commitment to honouring and learning about the distinct cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples. We had the pleasure of learning from Cedar Spoon Catering about the traditional pantry used by First Nations, and the evolution of Indigenous culinary practices in Canada.
On September 25, 2004, Foglers hosted an exclusive discussion on the intricate interplay between inherent jurisdiction and Canada’s political, economic, and legal landscapes.
Featuring an extraordinary panel of Indigenous female trailblazers, whose vision, perspectives, and actions are transforming the narrative on reconciliation and effecting change across the country, from the boardroom to the courtroom.
Panellists:Drawing from their vast experiences in politics, leadership, and law, our panellists shared invaluable insights on reconciliation, economic equality for Indigenous Peoples, and the evolving legal and political landscape.
Thank you to our co-sponsors Envest Corp., Bullfrog Power and the Global Indigenous Development Trust for helping create this platform for critical dialogue. The discussion inspired attendees and reinforced our commitment to advancing these crucial conversations.
