C A N A D I A N L a w y e r m a g . c o m MANITOBA'S FIRST ABORIGINAL JUDGE, Sinclair is one of the most important faces of aboriginal issues in Canada, and his work with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in the past year has been extremely progressive. He is the chairman of the commission, which has visited more than 300 aboriginal communities to help them come to terms with the history associated with residential schools. Under his guidance, the TRC held its first national awareness event earlier this year, where thousands were invited to share their stories of abuse. He is also outspoken in the media on the subject, through both writing articles and being featured in them. JUSTICE MURRAY SINCLAIR JUDGE, PROVINCIAL COURT OF MANITOBA, WINNIPEG What voters had to say: "Justice Murray Sinclair is a fi erce advocate, peace- builder, and the embodiment of the aspirations of reconciliation. In his role as Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission he has been instrumental in helping us all (*not just aboriginal communities) come to terms with the sad and shameful legacy of residential schools in Canada."
