Celebrating Brian’s AMS/John Hodgson Award of Excellence in Charity and Not‑For‑Profit Law
June 3rd, 2016 by Iler Campbell
Brian Iler was presented with the 2016 AMS/John Hodgson Award of Excellence in Charity and Not‑For‑Profit Law on June 2 by the Ontario Bar Association Charity and Not-For‑Profit Law Section in a luncheon ceremony. Celia Chandler introduced him with a brief recounting of his career and his personality. She called out “his energy, his idealism, his ability to cut to the chase.”
Brian followed that up with more detail, recounting key moments in his career. He remains, in his words, “an unrepentant 68er ‑ hopeful, not without reason, that with collective and sustained community initiatives, the world can be made a better place.”
Read on for the full text of their comments. There’s some great history in there! Here’s to more great work to come! Continue reading “Celebrating Brian’s AMS/John Hodgson Award of Excellence in Charity and Not‑For‑Profit Law”
Thank you for all the support; I’m back at work full time
May 27th, 2016 by Celia ChandlerAs many of you know, my partner, Jack, was diagnosed with lung cancer in January. Princess Margaret Cancer Centre began immediately to treat him aggressively with chemo and radiation; as a result, I’ve been working part‑time.
I’m very pleased to report that Jack’s treatment is largely complete and the test results are very encouraging. He is tired but confident that he’s on the road to recovery. Jack’s definitely got the power of positive thinking on his side!
Thank you for your expressions of concern over these months ‑‑ how comforting to receive support from such a large circle of friends, many with your own cancer stories. Thanks too for patiently waiting for me to respond to your emails or for letting me pass work to colleagues. (I’m so grateful for colleagues who’ve picked up the slack!)
This week I’ve happily returned to work full‑time. Please don’t hesitate to be in touch with me. And keep the good thoughts coming Jack’s way.
And the 2016 AMS/John Hodgson Award of Excellence in Charity and Not‑For‑Profit Law goes to…. Brian Iler!
