Episode one

On the very first episode of unTraditional, we discuss Justice Bertha Wilson and why she is the greatest Canadian. Justice Wilson was the first woman on the Supreme Court of Canada in 107 years! The impacts she had on the laws that rule over Canada, truly make her the greatest Canadian. This episode includes a fantastic interview with Nicole Henderson, the acting director of the Wilson Moot, and Maia Prichard, a very inspirational member of Seycove Secondary.
