This is incredibly sad news. We’ve lost a beacon of hope and wisdom.
Murray Sinclair, the former Senator and chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has died at 73.
Sinclair was also a judge in Manitoba from 1988 to 2009 and was the first Indigenous judge appointed in the province. #cdnpoli
Happy to hear Chief @SharleenGale speak at the @ppforumca Second Annual Indigenous Ownership & Economic Reconciliation Breakfast on an all Indigenous Women panel.

Tonight was a historic night in our Haida history! Our nation voted 94.5% to vote in favour of our Haida Title Lands Agreement with the Province of BC! Our rights and title are being secured for our future generations #haidagwaii #haidatitle

KPU Chancellor @KimCBaird spoke to @CBCStephenQuinn today about @KwantlenU offering free tuition to eligible Indigenous students: “It sends a very strong message…that their participation at KPU is not only welcome but encouraged.”

Such amazing news! hay čxʷ q̓ə @KwantlenU

Thankful to be included with such great Indigenous women business leaders sharing thoughts about economic reconciliation.
It’s #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth, and as it's also our #CCCWomeninBusiness Summit, we're featuring #women #IndigenousBusinessLeaders from our #ChamberNetwork and what #EconomicReconcilation means to them @BoardofTrade @hamiltonchamber @BattlefordsCofC @SSMCOC_events
Proud of my cousin‘s journey.
Steven Stark has a superhero name. And it took incredible strength for him to overcome childhood trauma. @ChrisGailus has the inspiring story of a Tsawwassen First Nation business leader who overcame enormous odds and a crushing addiction to start several successful companies.
Happy 14th Tsawwassen Treaty Day!
My heartfelt gratitude to @TsawawssenFN today for welcoming me on the 14th anniversary of their historic treaty with BC and Canada coming into effect. Today is a compelling reminder of how Modern Treaties bring us closer to reconciliation through strong Gov-2-Gov relationships.
Thrilled the Tsawwassen treaty was amended, allowing Tsawwassen to benefit from tax exemptions again. Happy to witness TFN Executive Councillor, Val Cross, address the BC legislature on this historic occasion. @AdamPOlsen addressing us in our language will be unforgettable.
Thank you to Chief Laura Cassidy, Valerie Cross, @KimCBaird and Tsawwassen leadership for driving the success of our journey by their unwavering commitment to their people. @KatrineConroy @CrownIndigenous @BCTreaty

Yesterday, I introduced a @TsawawssenFN Treaty amendment that will implement a BC and federal tax policy change, which allows treaty members to continue to keep their Indian Act tax exemption status in their treaties indefinitely, until a Treaty Nation determines to end it.
I just donated to help Indigenous students. Please consider doing the same. #KPUResilience #KPUIndigenousStudents #AlumniMaekitPossible
