Tréchelle Bunn’s extraordinary year

Tréchelle Bunn has been having an extraordinary year – make that two years. Since first setting foot in Robson Hall, the third-year law student from Wampum, Manitoba, has been making a huge impact on every community she is part of, be it furthering Truth and Reconciliation, or working to improve access to justice for incarcerated persons. From organizing an annual Reconciliation Run in her home community of the Birdtail Sioux First Nation to speaking before the United Nations Human Rights Council on behalf of Indigenous Peoples, Bunn proceeds with quiet determination and a passion for challenges.
