The proposed settlement will be considered by the Federal Court at a hearing in Halifax, Nova Scotia on July 16 and 17, 2024.
If approved by the Federal Court, the proposed settlement provides for: (a) payment for Class Members who experienced racism in connection with their military service; (b) the option to participate in a restorative engagement process; and (c) other measures to improve the organizational culture and systems within the Canadian Armed Forces.
