Associate, Gowling WLG. Bâtonnier of Montreal (2019 to 2020)
At the start of the 2019 judicial year, when I presented Éducaloi with the Médaille du Barreau de Montréal, I described the organization as a leading player in the legal world, in line with the Bar’s mission to protect the public.
This is even truer today. Éducaloi’s relentless work to ensure that people know their rights and above all, understand them, is fundamental in a society where misinformation circulates more easily than ever.
On the eve of celebrating its 25th anniversary, Éducaloi’s relevance is self-evident. It’s an honour for me to help maintain and amplify Éducaloi’s impact for years to come.
Caroline Biron, Ad. E
Associate, Blakes
I am deeply honoured to co-chair this fundraising campaign to mark Éducaloi’s 25th anniversary. My interest in the organization stems not only from my admiration for its mission but also from the rigour with which it’s carried out.
As a litigator, I have often been called upon by friends and acquaintances for legal matters outside my field of expertise. I’ve always referred them to Éducaloi, and the feedback has invariably been positive.
I’m delighted to be involved in this campaign as co-chair and look forward to the progress we’ll make together.
