Annual Firm Seminar - 2010

Our Annual Firm Seminar entitled "Workplace Violence, Criminal Charges, Human Rights Claims and Class Actions:  Balancing Employee Rights and Business Goals" was held on Friday, June 11, 2010 at The Sheraton Centre, Grand Ballroom, Lower Concourse at 123 Queen Street West in Toronto.  Our program focussed on recent important developments in the field of labour and employment law, with an emphasis on practical and proactive management advice.

Our keynote address was delivered by Mr. Brian Stemmle.  Mr. Stemmle is regarded as one of the greatest alpine skiers in Canadian history.  He was a member of the National team from 1985 to 1999 and represented Canada at the 1988, 1992, 1994 and 1998 Olympic Winter Games.  Brian suffered a major setback during a 1989 competition in Kitzbuhel, Austria after a crash nearly ended not only his career, but his life.  Brian fought back from massive internal injuries and infection and just a year later won a gold medal at the Pan American Winter Games in 1990.
