In early 2021, The Law Foundation of Ontario announced the Elders’ Council as the recipient of the 2020 Guthrie Award. Ordinarily, the Foundation hosts an event to recognize and celebrate the Guthrie Award recipient. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was not possible. In lieu of an in-person event, the Foundation created a short video to honour the achievements and members of the Elders’ Council.
