The CLA is hosting a special event on Thursday, January 24, 2019 from 6 to 8 p.m. We are very lucky to be joined by one of Canada’s leading prison justice advocates, Order of Canada Member and Senator, Kim Pate.

Senator Pate will discuss her extensive experience working with and advocating for Canadian prisoners. Senator Pate will share her insight into the lives and experiences of incarcerated people to assist recent calls in understanding the challenges that our clients face both during pre-trial custody, and while serving sentences.

Senator Pate will be interviewed by Maya Borooah, an associate at Henein Hutchison, and a Regional Advocate with the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies.

The event is sponsored by Lot 30 Brewers (http://www.lot30brewers.com), a local Toronto brewer and brew-pub. Lot 30 will be providing complimentary beer and food for in-person attendees, which will available before and after Senator Pate’s talk.

One hour of substantive CPD available.

Advance registration required! In person attendees must be of legal drinking age.

* We work hard to bring recent calls quality programming and networking opportunities. Your support of our efforts is very much appreciated and we hope you enjoy our programming. To help us continue with bringing quality programming, it is important that only those that register participate. The Recent Call event series has been experiencing issues with the live webcast link being shared with non-registrants. This has impacted our efforts negatively for the volunteers planning the event as was as on association finances (we pay a fee per live webcast participant). Please do NOT share the webcast link with anyone. Please note that for CPD purposes, each Live Webcast registrant MUST register individually (even if planning on watching with a group). The email address provided when registering is where the webcast details will be sent closer to the event date. Only those that register in advance can claim CPD.
