While you’re here, you may wish to attend one of our upcoming workshops:
Assessing Credibility
Who should you believe? This course is for anyone who has investigated allegations but struggled to make a finding. Learn about the science of lie detection, which approaches work and which don’t, and valuable tools to assist you in making decisions. Investigators will leave confident in making difficult credibility decisions. Participants will be provided with comprehensive materials explaining these concepts and tools to better support them in their investigative practice.
As we prepare for the party of the century (and a half), we must remember that not everyone who calls this land home feels that this is a milestone worth celebrating.
For many indigenous people, this anniversary overlooks their much longer relationship to the land. For others, it represents a celebration of the same colonization process that caused their ancestors unspeakable pain and which continues to impact them today.
In light of this, this Canada day, I will be thinking about what it means to be Canadian – the good, the bad and the ugly. I will reflect with sadness on the damage that the last 150 years has done to Canada’s indigenous communities and hope for what the next 150 years may bring.
Finally, I will reflect on the words of Justice Murray Sinclair:
“Reconciliation is not an aboriginal problem — it is a Canadian problem. It involves all of us.”
