Myrna McCallum

Myrna McCallum is an Indigenous (Métis-Cree) lawyer from the historical Métis village of Green Lake, Saskatchewan in Treaty Six territory and she is also a registered Indian at nearby Waterhen Lake First Nation.

Myrna spent most of her 12-year legal career working in Indigenous communities and more specifically, serving survivors of sexual violence, as a Crown prosecutor, an Indian Residential School adjudicator and an Investigations Director. Throughout her career, she learned a great deal about trauma, its impacts on memory, communication and behaviour and the significant difference applying a trauma-informed approach has on the survivors who entrust her to witness their pain, receive their stories and assess their evidence.
