Kimberly Murray is taking on the role of Special Interlocutor on Residential Schools Unmarked Burial Sites.
The former executive director of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission will look into a number of reported issues surrounding the Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) including multiple human rights complaints, mental health-related concerns and past recommendations from other police oversight boards.
“Kimberly was a powerful voice and helped guide many discussions around the challenges facing the Thunder Bay Police Service,” said Chair Alok Mukherjee.
Work is now underway to identify candidates and stakeholders with a background in Indigenous justice to join and/or contribute to the panel.
Mukherjee added, “Having an Indigenous justice lens to the work we do is critical to ensuring our recommendations support reconciliation and building trust with the communities that live and visit Thunder Bay.”
Information on the community consultation process will be made available in the coming days.
