Show Notes

On April 28th, 2021 Queen’s University announced that the University has selected the longtime Indigenous rights advocate, former Senator, and former Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, The Honourable Murray Sinclair to serve as the 15th Chancellor of Queen’s, succeeding Jim Leech who has held the role since 2014. As an experienced national leader and advocate, His Honour will be well positioned to offer insight and guidance to the university. He will begin in his new role on July 1st 2021.

In this episode, we have the great pleasure and privilege of welcoming His Honor to the virtual studio for a chat about his lifelong activism and advocacy for Indigenous communities across Canada, his work on TRC and the Senate of Canada, the experience of becoming Chancellor and of course, the goals our new Chancellor-Designate has in mind for his upcoming term.
