A distinguished and highly respected Wolastoqey Elder, lawyer, judge, social worker, and activist, Graydon Nicholas CM ONB served as the appointed 30th Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick (2009-2014). He is the first Indigenous person to hold the office, the first to be appointed as a provincial court judge (in 1991), and the first in Atlantic Canada to obtain a law degree. Graydon is also a devout Catholic, a member of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Circle and a founder of the Indigenous Catholic Research Fellowship.
As we mark one year since the revelations of unmarked graves on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, Graydon will share his reflections as an Indigenous Catholic.
