There is a new Treaty Commissioner at the helm

Dr. Kathy Walker has begun her role as one of the most important arbiters in the province for truth and reconciliation − Treaty Commissioner.

“I’m really looking forward to helping move forward and support dialogue on Treaties,” she said.

It’s fitting her official first day took place on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation often referred to as Orange Shirt Day.

“When you think about the purpose of dialogue, it’s to increase understanding and to commit to action,” said Walker. “So that’s what I hope to do – create dialogue that will lead to more understanding, action, and implementation of the Treaties.”
