The Honourable Dr. Scott Reid, Minister Responsible for Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation, is sharing his condolences following the passing of Murray Sinclair.

“Mr. Sinclair was a true champion of Indigenous rights in Canada, and I am saddened to hear of his passing.

A former chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Mr. Sinclair’s efforts led the way for transformational change in this country.

As a leader in the justice system, Mr. Sinclair was well known as a diligent helper to young law students and dedicated his life to providing good guidance to those focused on the journey towards Reconciliation.

On behalf of our province, I extend my deepest condolences to Murray Sinclair’s family, his many friends and valued colleagues.”
