Inspired by our current exhibition, Exhibit A: Investigating Crime and Footwear and in honour of the 10th Anniversary of International Wrongful Conviction Day (Oct 2) join The Bata Shoe Museum and Innocence Canada for an honest, and impactful look at wrongful convictions in Canada. This panel talk will look at wrongful convictions through the experiences of those who have lived through it, and those who have made a significant impact through their efforts to help clear the names of the victims of wrongful incarceration. Innocence Canada co-founder and Director of Client Services Win Wahrer, co-founder, and lawyer James Lockyer, and two of Canada’s wrongly convicted, Dinesh Kumar and Tammy Marquardt Wynne will share their stories, and help us to understand the question, “How could this happen to an innocent person?”

Please note, this event will be held during a ‘Free Sunday’. When you arrive, please check in with the front desk to acquire your admission ticket, or reserve in advance online. Limited seats for the panel will be available. Please contact shan@batashoemuseum.ca with any questions.
