Where inspiration meets impact
The Honourable A. Anne McLellan’s (BA’71, LLB’74) illustrious parliamentary and legal academic career began at Dalhousie. McLellan has served as the University’s seventh chancellor and is an honorary co-chair of the Dalhousie Advisory Committee. In 2017, she established the Chancellor’s Chair in Aboriginal Law and Policy to contribute to teaching and research in the areas of Aboriginal and Indigenous law and policy, as well as to contribute to building positive relationships between Dalhousie and Aboriginal communities in the Maritimes, and beyond.
McLellan says, “I am delighted with the work being done by Naiomi Metallic, the current chair holder, and her team. Naomi is an Indigenous researcher working to capture and share Indigenous ways of knowing related to law and governance. The work they are doing is groundbreaking and I believe they will continue to lead the way on our journey of reconciliation.”
