The Honourable Kim Pate

Thursday, October 16, 2025

7:00–9:00 pm

The Mulroney Institute's Sober Second Thinkers Speakers Series begins its second year with The Hon. Kim Pate who will speak about her report, Injustices and Miscarriages of Justice Experienced by 12 Indigenous Women. Senator Pate will focus her comments on the importance of building community resources and supports via the experiences and miscarriages of justice visited on 12 Indigenous women in the residential school, child welfare, education, and criminal legal systems. Their life trajectories reveal the need for significant systemic changes and underscore how and why we must decolonize, decriminalize, and decarcerate.

All are welcome.
