Victims of Canada’s legacy of residential schools are expected to share their pain at two Truth and Reconciliation Commission forums to be held in Thunder Bay starting this morning.
The hearings “provide an opportunity for those affected by the Indian Residential School system and its legacy to share their experiences,” the commission said in a news release.
The hearings, which are often emotionally charged, are presided by one of three commissioners.
The forums in Thunder Bay are to be presided by Justice Murray Sinclair, Manitoba’s first aboriginal judge and a noted expert on aboriginal legal issues.
