Keynote speech at CCPA-BC's 20th Anniversary Gala: Senator (and former Justice) Murray Sinclair was the Chair of the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

His talk comes at an opportune time for British Columbia, as we seek to understand how best to implement the TRC’s recommendations.
