Rock-star judge’ Murray Sinclair left lasting impact on Manitoba legal community, friends and colleagues say – CBCNov 05, 2024‘He’s going to be remembered … as one of the most important figures in the history of this country’Winnipeg lawyer Brad Regehr’s fondest memory of the late Anishinaabe judge and senator Murray Sinclair has only a tangential connection to his judicial career. In 2007, Regehr’s partner had recently given birth to their youngest child. Sinclair, who Regehr says had an interest in acting, convinced Regehr and his partner to participate in the Manitoba Bar Association’s production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as part of the association’s annual Lawyers Play fundraiser. To convince the couple, Sinclair volunteered to hold their baby during rehearsals and while the couple performed in the play’s opening scene.

Co-Principal Investigator Rebecca Rooney featured on CBC as wetlands expert | Residential Development Impact Scorecard for the Environment
Rebecca Rooney, Co-Principal Investigator, Professor of Biology and head of the Waterloo Wetland Laboratory, was featured in CBC news, video and radio to speak about the importance of wetlands as provincial changes come into effect to the designation of provincially protected wetlands. The media stories come as 55 hectares of wetlands in Ottawa’s rural west-end lose their provincially significant wetlands status. These last two functions are being explored in the RISE project through Activity 6 to understand the benefits of wetlands in residential developments. Wetlands in residential areas can have a positive impact by soaking up floodwater, thereby protecting basements from flooding, and purifying water, helping the quality of the local drinking water supply. Rebecca emphasizes that we should be protecting our wetland “superheroes” – or those labelled provincially significant – as they are too valuable to lose.

Canada and churches have moral obligations for the reparations of missing and disappeared Indigenous children: Final Report
Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray has released her final report after two years of examining the issue of missing and disappeared Indigenous children and unmarked burials sites at residential schools in Canada. After potential unmarked graves were identified at former residential school sites, the Canadian government appointed Murray to make recommendations on unmarked graves and burial sites. The TRC report observed that “the most basic of questions about missing children — Who died? Instead, they were acts of commission: deliberately created situations in which Indigenous children in their care were severely harmed. Murray refers to this as forced disappearances — when the liberty of Indigenous children is taken away and their fate was concealed.
