- Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #27
Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #27
The Law Society of Alberta is committed to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #27
“We call upon the Federation of Law Societies of Canada to ensure that lawyers receive appropriate cultural competency training, which includes the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal–Crown relations. This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.”
