As legal professionals, each of us is called upon to better understand and implement our own journey on the path of reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. We continue these important discussions and engagement in this year's EDI program to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indigenous history, culture and traditions, and how these connect and interact with our legal system. Presenters provide insights and practical advice on how the professions can better serve Indigenous clients and their communities to give you insight on your role in this important process.
- Learn what responsibilities law schools owe to Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Students regarding Indigenous legal traditions
- Understand how you can improve access to justice for Indigenous people
- Be aware of the impact of false claims of Indigenous identity

- Jocelyn Formsma, Executive Director, National Association of Friendship Centres
- Jacqueline Keeler, Author / Journalist
- The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations
- Karen Drake, Associate Professor & Associate Dean (Students), Osgoode Hall Law School, York University
