TORONTO, Dec. 3, 2014 /CNW/ - Join us at a media conference concerning the recent release of the decision of the Ontario's appeal court in Brown v Canada, and the lesson to be learned from the experience of 16,000 First Nations' survivors of Ontario's 60's Scoop.
As the appeal Court observes in its December 2, 2014 decision:
"Here we are not dealing with just one aspect of that culture. Rather, we are dealing with a person's connection to that culture as a whole. It is difficult to see a specific interest that could be of more importance to aboriginal persons than each person's essential connection to their aboriginal heritage."

11:00 am |

Place: |
Native Child and Family Services of Toronto, 30 College Street, Toronto, M5G 1K2 |
We will be distributing copies of the decision and answering any questions as to where this case now goes at the press conference, and how much money and resources Canada is spending to block the case from proceeding.
