Supreme Court justices hear two cases in Winnipeg, meet with Indigenous leaders
WINNIPEG — Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner says holding hearings in Winnipeg is an important step toward informing people about how the country’s highest court works.
Judges from the Supreme Court of Canada are in Manitoba this week to hear cases and to reach out to the public.
The nine judges will meet with students and Indigenous leaders and hold a question-and-answer session with the general public.
They will also hear two cases while in Winnipeg — the first hearings outside of Ottawa in the court’s 144-year history.
