Strategy 3.3 of the Law Society of Manitoba Strategic Plan 2017-2020 states “There are two activities included in support of the strategy to address the Call to Action # 27 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC):
- Activity 3.3.1 is to “Increase cultural competency in the delivery of legal services” and
- Activity 3.3.2 is to “Increase cultural competency among the benchers and staff”.
The Law Society of Manitoba’s activities in response to the TRC’s Calls to Action should fall within five broad categories: legal education, internal awareness, governance and operations, support for Indigenous members and collaboration and engagement.
