## Resource

Manitoba’s provincial court takes a historic leap forward by appointing Jerilee Ryle as its first associate chief judge of reconciliation — a groundbreaking role believed to be unique in Canada. Anishinaabe and deeply committed to Indigenous justice, Judge Ryle will begin her seven-year term in July, tasked with bridging the gap between the legal system and Indigenous communities. Her mission: to foster trust, understand community needs, and reshape court practices through cultural humility and truth. This move comes amid ongoing disparities in Indigenous representation in the justice system, and is backed by the provincial government and Indigenous leaders as a vital step toward meaningful reconciliation.
