Township Flags Lowered to Honour the Legacy of Murray Sinclair

In honour of the Honourable Murray Sinclair's passing, flags at Township facilities have been lowered to half-mast and will remain so until Sunday, November 10, 2024. 

Mr. Sinclair, an Anishinaabe and member of the Peguis First Nation, dedicated his life to repairing and reshaping Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples.

A lawyer by profession, Mr. Sinclair became the first Indigenous judge appointed in Manitoba and just the second in Canada. Among his many accomplishments, he will be remembered for his service as the Chief Commissioner of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), where he led efforts to address the lasting and painful impact of the residential school system on Indigenous communities.
