The Justice Michelle O’Bonsawin with CAO Executive Director, Mr. Daniel G. Nolett and AFNQL Regional Chief, Mr. Ghislain Picard.

Yesterday, in Ottawa, the welcoming ceremony of the new Supreme Court of Canada judge, Justice Michelle O’Bonsawin, took place. The entire W8banaki Nation of Odanak is extremely proud that a W8banakiak from the community is the very first Indigenous judge to sit on the highest court in the country.

In addition to being a highly respected judge in the Canadian legal community, Ms. O’Bonsawin’s career and accomplishments are remarkable and it is an invaluable honour to have such an ambassador for our Nation.

Our most sincere congratulations!
