o h'H O C M 00 C N C D by Marta Marychuk _Q Couple donates $1M to assist Indigenous law students law school Dean Edward Iacobucci, in a press release. "Building up our needs-based financial program is the key funding priority for this chapter at the law school, and I am excited at the prospect of supporting Indigenous students attending the Faculty of Law with the help of their gift," Iacobucci added. Amanda Carling, a Metis faculty of law graduate and manager of Indigenous initiatives at the faculty of law, says there is a m isconception in Canada that all First Nation, Metis and Inuit students get a free ride. "That could not be further from the truth," said Carling. "Indigenous students work hard and take on significant debt in order to earn post secondary degrees." "Gay and N orm ans gift will help alleviate some of that financial burden and, for some students, will help make attending U of T Law a reality," said Carling. "We are grateful to the Lovelands for not only their generous financial contribution, but also for their genuine interest in, and dedication to, moving this country forward on the path to reconciliation. "They are real allies and this law school is a better place because of them ," Carling added.
