IRSHDC is saddened to hear of the passing of the Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair at 73 years old. He was a tireless advocate for Survivors of the Residential School system.
Our thoughts are with his family and all those who loved him.
November 1 marks 20 years since Musqueam won R v. Guerin in 1984, which ruled that the Crown has both a legal responsibility and fiduciary duty to uphold Aboriginal title.
This November, IRSHDC is proud to announce a new exhibit - Larry Loyie: Writing is Healing.
The exhibition is open to the public on NOVEMBER 5, and we are hosting a MEET & GREET with Larry’s co-author and partner CONSTANCE BRISSENDEN!
