Today, we bring you the twenty first installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. We continue to go through each Appendices, continuing with Appendix 2: Canada's Residential Schools. This brief episodes outlines how the list of schools were put together and what criteria was involved in the selection process. Our next episode will take us through the list of the schools themselves. 

Special thanks to Tom Naciuk who recorded this episode.

CW: We ask that you take care while engaging with this material.

Please check out the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada if you wish to follow along while listening and/or see the photos which accompany the report.

This is a project we have been unveiling since summer 2021,  thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content. We hold space for Indigenous people who have been and continue to be harmed by colonialism. This recording is our way of engaging with Call to Action #27 - which calls upon legal professionals to ensure they have appropriate cultural competency training. We hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. We feel it our responsibility as settlers and as legal professionals to do this work and we thank you for listening.

These episodes will not be appearing on our YouTube feed. Instead, we ask you to please visit the #ReadtheTRC page on YouTube - linked here. This is an amazing project which provides YouTube videos of people reading the entire Executive Summary report and is perfect for those who wish to engage with the report with both an audio and visual component. We want to ensure full credit is given to Chelsea Vowel (link to work site here) who was one of the organizers of the #ReadTheTRC project. We hope our work serves as a companion piece and allows individuals to engage with the material in an accessible and available manner.

The Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program has a hotline to help residential school survivors and their relatives suffering from trauma invoked by past abuse. The number is 1-866-925-4419.

Today, we bring you the twenty first installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. This episode begins to delve into the Appendices beginning with Appendix A: The Mandate of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Appendix outlines principles, goals, responsibilities, duties and the exercise of those duties, and other more technical aspects such as budget, timeframe, and membership. The episode provides an inside look into how the TRC functioned in putting together the final report. 

Special thanks to Tom Naciuk who recorded this episode.

Welcome back to the C O L L A B ZONE!

Today we continue our new series of bonus episodes which we recorded with the help of students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology!

As part of our ongoing engagement with Call to Action #27 of the TRC, we created a series of summaries of key Aboriginal case law decisions so that legal students, practitioners, and the public can further engage and learn about how our Canadian legal system treats Indigenous peoples. Some of these decisions are already available in full in other episodes, others we are still working on releasing as full recordings. We worked on this project with students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology, who generously donated their time to record the summaries for us. We also want to thank the 1492 Windsor Law Coalition who provided the basis for some summaries.

Today we have Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. v. Carrier Sekani Tribal Council a 2010 SCC decision. The SCC reaffirmed the test from Haida for the Duty to Consult and held that approving the Energy Purchase Agreement in question was not unreasonable as it did not adversely affect an Aboriginal Interest.

As we wind down the final parts of our complete recording of the TRC - we are re-releasing the Calls to Action so they appear in our feed how they appear chronologically in the Executive Summary. It has been our privilege to work on this project over these last months. We want to again thank everyone who came together to help us get this done. We have around 5 episodes to go which will be from the Report Appendices. In the meantime, please take a listen to the Calls to Action. It is always time for Reconciliation. 

...

Today we bring you the first installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. This is a shortened version of the Calls to Action, a complete version of which - as it appears in the Executive Summary - will be released later this summer. These are the 94 specific calls to action which the TRC called for and it is essential reading/listening for settlers on this land we now call Canada. If you want to learn about how the 94 Calls to Action have and have not been implemented since the TRC Report, please check out resources here.

Today we have Mikisew Cree First Nation v. Canada (Minister of Canadian Heritage) a 2018 SCC Decision. Omnibus legislation was introduced which would have significantly impacted environmental protection. Mikisew Cree Nation was not consulted and brought a JR application arguing a failure of the Crown in their duty to consult. The Majority of the SCC held that the development of legislation does not trigger the Duty to Consult.

You asked and asked (and asked) ... and we finally delivered! Thanks to our guest reader extraordinaire Amandeep Sehmbi we bring you the Majority decision in R v Jordan. This seminal 2016 SCC decision remains the most pivotal decision regarding section 11(b) of the Charter aka DELAY. Before Amandeep takes you through the decision, Karly and Zach chat what Jordan means and how it touches... well... everything (or so it seems). We also chat Jordan & Covid, exceptional circumstances, court closures and court reopenings ... which is a whole entire can of worms.
