On the passing of The Hon. Murray Sinclair, former senator, judge and Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission we extend our prayers and expressions of deep respect for a life well-lived in service to others. #onted #trc
Murray Sinclair. A great man. This is so rare - a truly great man. He changed our society. He made all of us think about others and about ourselves in a new and better way. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

We are extremely saddened to hear of the loss of The Honourable Murray Sinclair, who we were honoured to hear speak at the OPSBA-hosted @cdnsba Indigenous Trustee Gathering in Niagara Falls in 2014.
"Education got us into this mess and education will get us out of it."
Murray Sinclair, former judge, TRC commissioner and senator, dies at 73

It’s #LocalGovWeek, but it’s not just about staff or elected officials – it’s about civic engagement, too. Democracy flourishes when people on both sides of the Council table participate & use their voice. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. #MakeADifference
