Sask. judge receives Order of Canada on National Indigenous Peoples Day
On a day that recognized Canada’s Indigenous peoples, one Prince Albert man was honoured for his contributions to Saskatchewan’s justice system.
Former judge Gerald Morin officially received the Order of Canada at a ceremony in Ottawa on Wednesday.
Morin, a member of Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, was recognized for creating the Saskatchewan Cree Court Circuit in 2001. He is also a revered mentor among Indigenous judges and lawyers who helped create the Wunusweh lecture on Indigenous law series at the University of Saskatchewan.
