The Advancing Social Justice Through Law Conference will be focused on meaningfully addressing violence against Indigenous women and girls in Manitoba and the ongoing imperative of advancing the Calls for Justice coming out of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

The goal is to help educate the broader legal community in Winnipeg about the work that is currently being done to achieve the Calls for Justice, what still needs to be done, and what the responsibilities of the legal community are in this work. It also aims to provide a platform to celebrate, honour, and acknowledge the depth of talent and experience in the Manitoba legal and frontline advocate communities.

The conference will include a full day programming. This program should be considered a qualifying activity under the The Law Society of Manitoba CPD requirements. A catered breakfast and lunch will be served for all attendees.

Thanks to our sponsors, the Manitoba Law Foundation and the Winnipeg Foundation, for providing funding to make this conference possible. We are also grateful for the support of our volunteer-run local branch, LEAF Winnipeg, and members of our conference planning advisory committee.

This conference will take place within Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinabe (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota, and is the Birthplace of the Métis Nation and the Heart of the Métis Nation Homeland.
