OBA Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity Community PROGRAM | 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Stories build connection and inspire, and the lessons gleaned are impactful. Join us for this event to hear from our esteemed panel of speakers as they share their own stories and experiences as members of the 2SLGBTQI+ legal community. Learn how they navigated challenges and celebrated successes, and gain invaluable insights for your own rising legal career.
After this panel discussion, this year’s OBA SOGIC’s Robert Muir Award for Mentorship will be presented to Katherine Pollock, Partner at Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP. Join us to celebrate Katherine’s work and achievements, and stay for the following PRIDE celebration and networking social. Connect with friends and colleagues in the 2SLGBTQ+ community and widen your network of queer lawyers while enjoying light food and drinks.
There is no cost for this program. Registration for this program will include admission to the SOGIC Pride Social that follows and show the associated cost. Law students, LPP, Articling, and those in their first 3 years of practice are invited to stay for the SOGIC Pride Social for free, thanks to the Associate Judges and their generous gift made to honour the legacy of their friend and colleague Master Robert Muir.
