That one where the lodge became a court for a day and @hslaird became a lawyer for life.
A big moment. We hosted our first bar call @UAlbertaLaw in June. Thanks to Justice Cochard, Justice Mandamin, Eileen Sasakamoose & all who made this historic event possible. Congrats to new lawyer @hslaird & big thanks to their principal, @KorenLE. More-> tinyurl.com/2ubvc39v
