For the child taken, for the parent left behind. On July 1, 2009, the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was officially established with the Honourable
Justice Murray Sinclair as chairperson. The Commission has been helping Canadians learn about the truth about Indian Residential Schools and encouraging the rebuilding of relationships damaged by residential schools. The TRC was created as a result of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement between former students, churches, the Government
of Canada, the Assembly of First Nations and other Aboriginal organizations. It’s mandate is to inform all Canadians about what happened in Indian Residential Schools (IRS). The Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair was appointed Associate Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of Manitoba in March of 1988 and to the Court of Queen’s Bench of Manitoba in January 2001.
