“Reconciliation must inspire Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples to transform Canadian society so that our children and grandchildren can live together in dignity, peace, and prosperity on these lands we now share.” – What We Have Learned: Principles of Truth and Reconciliation. Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada. 2015
Adrienne joined the Vancouver office of Rana Law in March 2023. To date, her work has focused on the implementation of Specific Claims settlements and First Nations’ economic development. Adrienne’s practice also includes supporting First Nations in Canada’s Additions to Reserve process.
Adrienne grew up in Treaty 1 territory in Winnipeg and obtained her J.D. from the University of Ottawa in 2020. As a student, Adrienne was actively involved in the international human rights and social justice communities. One of her most rewarding projects was being a part of a research team that supported the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing.
Prior to joining Rana Law, Adrienne articled with Legal Aid Manitoba, where she advocated for her clients in the areas of family law and child protection law. She later joined the First Nations Family Advocate Office of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, which has a mandate to both deliver quality legal service to individuals and contribute to child welfare reform. Adrienne’s work for the FNFAO supported and implemented First Nation laws, enhanced access to justice for First Nations’ families and promoted reconciliation.
