VANCOUVER — Former judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond says she is satisfied in her “past work, identity and self-worth” after the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association stripped her of an award because it believed she falsified her claims of Indigenous identity.
Turpel-Lafond says in her most expansive remarks since questions about her heritage were raised last year that it is “liberating” to be freed of honours.
More coming.
