Welcome to Asian and South Asian Heritage month!
The Law Society of Ontario is partnering with the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers and the South Asian Bar Association of Toronto for an event commemorating Asian and South Asian Heritage Month on May 24, 2018.
This year’s event will provide an open forum to discuss and explore how communities come together and build connections. It will feature a presentation by Judge Maryka Omatsu, and a workshop led by Keya Dasgupta. There will be a reception following the program.
More information about this event, and a registration link are available here: http://www.lawsocietygazette.ca/event/asian-and-south-asian-heritage-month-program-2018/
We would be honoured if you and other members of the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers would join us for this event, and invite you to circulate the above link to your membership.
We hope to see you at the event!
