It was with sadness that the Dionne Schulze team learned of the death of Me Peter W. Hutchins on January 13. Me Hutchins was among the first legal advocates for the rights of Aboriginal peoples in Canada.

The Canadian government and lawyers for survivors have reached an agreement-in-principle to settle a class-action lawsuit over the operation of boarding homes for Indigenous students attending public schools between 1951 and 1992.

On December 15, 2022, Bill S-219 came into force, designating January 4 as "National Ribbon Skirt Day." It is hoped that this legislation will allow Canadians to further their understanding and education of Indigenous culture and heritage, specifically the ribbon skirt, which is a symbolic piece of clothing for Aboriginal women.

Twelve Atikamekw women are taking legal action against the regional health authority that operates Joliette hospital in Quebec and three physicians. They are claiming sterilization without having given consent.

We are pleased to announce that Dionne Schulze has been recognized as one of Canada's top law firms by the Globe and Mail. We are one of only 20 firms working in Aboriginal Law from across the country to have been recognized. Almost 25,000 lawyers and legal professionals were actively invited to participate in the survey. This is a fine recognition for our team and our talented lawyers
