Commissions work together to strengthen human and treaty rights

The Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba, the Manitoba Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Commission have forged a unique collaboration to raise awareness of human and treaty rights. This is the first time in Canada that these organizations have joined together in a spirit of collaboration to further their cause.

Dennis White Bird, Jerry Woods and David Langtry formalized their partnership during a signing ceremony that was held in Winnipeg on April 27th 2010. The agreement, or Memorandum of Understanding, commits all three Commissions to an on-going dialogue, to gather information and engage grassroots organization in a broader discussion about human and treaty rights.

This partnership will help establish a framework to promote and enhance the learning experience relative to human and treaty rights for all people living in Canada and around the world.
