This year’s version of the Queen’s Conference on Indigenous Reconciliation highlighted the efforts of conciliation being undertaken in the Canadian economic and legal fields. Hosted this past Saturday, March 6 primarily by students in the Law and Commerce faculties at Queen’s University, the conference was headlined by keynote speaker John Borrows. He is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law at the University of Victoria Law School and presented to about 80 students, faculty members, and others from across the country. The origins of the conference come from the 2019 Queen’s Reconciliation on Bay Street Conference, named after a documentary of the same name by Andrée Cazabon. The name change to Queen’s Conference on Indigenous Reconciliation in 2020 allowed the conference to have “a bit more flexibility,” McLeod explained.
