Convocation began with a ceremony to polish the Relationship with the Eagle Feathers. The ceremony was led by Elder Myeengun Henry of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation. Elder Henry is also a member of the Indigenous Advisory Group Elders’ Council.
 
Polishing the Relationship with the Eagle Feathers serves as an important element of the Law Society’s commitment to enhance its policies and services in relation to Indigenous licensees, communities and individuals.
