On September 25, 2004, Foglers hosted an exclusive discussion on the intricate interplay between inherent jurisdiction and Canada’s political, economic, and legal landscapes.

Featuring an extraordinary panel of Indigenous female trailblazers, whose vision, perspectives, and actions are transforming the narrative on reconciliation and effecting change across the country, from the boardroom to the courtroom.

Panellists:

  • Chief Claire Sault, Chief, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation
  • Chief Kelly LaRocca, Chief, Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation
  • Jody Wilson-Raybould, Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
  • Karen Restoule, Vice President, Crestview Strategy
  • Katherine Hensel, Partner & Indigenous Practice Group Co-Chair, Fogler, Rubinoff LLP

Drawing from their vast experiences in politics, leadership, and law, our panellists shared invaluable insights on reconciliation, economic equality for Indigenous Peoples, and the evolving legal and political landscape.

Thank you to our co-sponsors Envest Corp., Bullfrog Power and the Global Indigenous Development Trust for helping create this platform for critical dialogue. The discussion inspired attendees and reinforced our commitment to advancing these crucial conversations.
