Michelle O’Bonsawin is originally from Hanmer
Local students received a visit April 25 from recently appointed Supreme Court of Canada Justice Michelle O’Bonsawin.
This visit to two CSC Nouvelon secondary schools is a return to her roots for Justice O'Bonsawin, who completed her secondary studies at École secondaire catholique Champlain before pursuing her studies in law at the University of Ottawa and the Osgoode Hall Law School. On Sept. 1, 2022, she was appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, thus becoming the first Indigenous judge nominated to Canada’s top court.
Alexie Blais, Grade 11 student and Student Parliament Secretary at ÉSC Champlain, was thrilled to meet Justice O’Bonsawin.
