The University of Winnipeg will honour Justice Murray Sinclair as the recipient of the 2015 Duff Roblin Award presented to a Manitoban with a profound dedication to education and community.
The dinner will be held Tuesday, Nov. 17 at the Fort Garry Hotel, with proceeds supporting students through the Duff Roblin Scholars Fund, the Opportunity Fund, Community Learning initiatives, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Scholarship Fund, the university said in a news release.
Tickets and sponsorships to the dinner are available here.
Justice Sinclair was appointed Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) in 2009, and in this ground-breaking role, has created the first comprehensive report on the Indian Residential School system in Canada. Following years of intense hearings from survivors and academic research, the report includes 94 recommendations aimed at bridging the experiences of indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians.
In addition, Justice Sinclair was Manitoba’s first aboriginal judge where he co-led the seminal Manitoba Aboriginal Justice Inquiry. In November 2000, Justice Sinclair completed the Report of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest, a study into the deaths of twelve children in the pediatric cardiac surgery program of Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre.
