On this day, I reflect on the past and the painful struggle that so many Indigenous people have endured on this land, and commit to the future, and what each of us can do to advance reconciliation in our communities, workplaces and our country. Grateful that Torys LLP played an important role, 2 decades ago, in the signing of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which spawned the creation of the TRC. Call to Action #80 sought a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which thankfully became law in 2021. Wear your Orange shirt today, but think about the cause of reconciliation every day.

With the boys at our first WNBA last night to cheer on the Tempo! A tough but close loss to Caitlyn Clark and the Indiana Fever, but an awesome effort by Kia Nurse and so many others. Amazing to be part of a sold out crowd supporting our professional women's team at Scotiabank! WNBA WNBA Canada Toronto Tempo kia nurse

In discussion at Canadian Arbitration Week with Meg Kinnear following her terrific keynote. Thanks for the engaging conversation (and active audience participation!), on promoting Canadian expertise in arbitration: as objective, highly qualified adjudicators, as top notch counsel, and as a great locale to host international disputes.

Taking in the FIFA Fan Festival today with the kids for Canada v Bosnia. Bit of a nail biter, but thank goodness for local boy Cyle Larin with that late equalizer! Canada’s first ever points at a World Cup and more to come! Bring on Qatar! 🇨🇦

Hier soir, j'ai prononcé un discours devant les délégués lors de la conférence annuelle de l'AJEFO. Cette formidable association milite depuis 45 ans au sein du système judiciaire pour faire progresser le français et les droits des minorités linguistiques !

Addressing delegates at the annual conference of the AJEFO last night. This amazing Association has been advocating within the justice system to advance French and minority language rights for 45 years!
