CBC | Cindy Blackstock to receive honour from Sudbury's Laurentian University
Cindy Blackstock's background is in social work, and she's now executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society — an organization she co-founded — as well as a professor at McGill University in Montreal. She will be awarded a Doctorate of Laws from Laurentian University in Sudbury on Saturday.
Despite already holding nearly 20 of the honours from universities across the country, Blackstock, a well-known figure in Canadian human rights, says it's a "great honour to work with people, particularly in northern Ontario, on the children's equity issue."
