Two events will be held in the next few days to remember and honour Murray Sinclair, the late former judge and senator who led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Sinclair, 73, died Monday.
A public memorial service open to everyone is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday at Canada Life Centre.

Smoke billows from a sacred fire for Murray Sinclair, who died Monday.
A public visitation — open to Sinclair’s extended family and friends and the community at large, but closed to media — is happening at the Centro Caboto Centre from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday.
A sacred fire has been lit outside the Manitoba Legislative Building.
“The family continues to welcome everyone to visit his sacred fire to make an offering of tobacco and send him your best wishes,” the news advisory states.
“The family appreciates the continued respect for their privacy in this time of mourning.”
Instead of flowers, Sinclair’s family is asking people who want to donate to do so through the Murray Sinclair Memorial Fund.
Cards and messages can be mailed to the offices of Cochrane Sinclair, 201-211 Bannatyne Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R3B 3P2.
