A message from Ardith Walpetko We’dalx Walkem, QC, Chair of CLEBC’s Truth and Reconciliation Task Force.

Ardith Walpetko We’dalx Walkem, QC

Greetings,

I am the Chair of the Continuing Legal Education Society of BC’s Truth and Reconciliation Task Force. For the past year, this group has been working on an Action Plan to guide the work of CLEBC in implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action in the area of legal education.

This work was driven by CLEBC board members, and members of the Indigenous legal community, who generously dedicated their time and skills to help craft this response to the TRC’s Calls to Action.

It is our hope that the CLEBC Truth and Reconciliation Action Plan will make a real and meaningful difference working with the profession to successfully implement the Calls to Action.

Sincerely,

Ardith Walpetko We’dalx Walkem, QC
Chair, CLEBC Truth and Reconciliation Task Force
