After four years of valued service to our clients, it is with regret that we have accepted Priya Sarin’s resignation, to take effect sometime in December. We can say without reservation that our clients have benefited greatly from her legal skills and we from her positive energy in the office.
Priya closes this chapter but we wish Priya well as she moves to another firm where she will be able to devote her full attention to her real love – labour and employment law.
Stay tuned to this blog for our posting to fill the vacancy Priya leaves.
Transitions are always hard but we aim for a smooth one. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to be in touch with Celia, Brian or Ted.

CHF Canada has launched a campaign calling on co-op housing supporters to help make the future of affordable co-op housing an issue in the federal election. On votecoophousing.ca they write:
Federal and provincial funding agreements that assist more than 20,000 low-income households living in co-operative housing with their rents are coming to an end in large numbers. Unless governments agree to help, the co‑ops where these low-income Canadians live will be unable to offer them affordable rents based on their incomes.
They’re calling on voters to call on their candidates for their support, share their co-op housing stories and help spread the word. Find out more at votecoophousing.ca
