Congratulations @CraigFerris1 and Grant Vogeli! Well deserved recognition for not just your advocacy skills but your mentoring of so many young lawyers over the years.

#Mining lawyers Christine Kowbel, Jennifer Nyland, Tim Syer and Toby Kruger travelled to #Iqaluit this week to attend the #Nunavut Mining #Symposium. Lawson Lundell was a Gold #Sponsor of the event. Want to learn more about our mining services? Click here: bit.ly/3LBr1a3

@sarahdelvillano @DurantBarrister Come north! Lots of room for new lawyers in #spectacularNWT.

Just realized that as of April 20, I meet all requirements to be a lawyer in Ontario!!! 🥳🥳 So happy to stay with @DurantBarrister until June call. Anyone looking to hire a junior associate with civil lit and investigation experience this fall?? DMs are open! #LawTwitter

@sparkerpark Congratulations, Scott! We are really looking forward to your arrival in Yellowknife. Spring is here and the ice is melting. It’s a great time

@JohnHaleCrimLaw Welcome back north!

I arrived in Yellowknife at the beginning of Burger Week - which should be a national holiday - and got my first passport stamp with this creation at the Black Knight. I have discovered that protein overdose is a real possibility. There’s a fried egg above the two patties here.

We’re delighted to #welcome Simon Barry to our #Yellowknife office! Joining the firm’s Litigation & Dispute Resolution Group, Simon’s practice is focused on civil #litigation and emergency child protection law. To learn more about Simon, click here: bit.ly/3KvesxC

The law reports are full of untold stories and hidden lives. This is a particularly poignant one, well told by @yuanyi_z thecritic.co.uk/issues/april-2…

@moirarvane My deepest condolences to you, your mom and your sister.

I am absolutely devastated to share that my dad passed tonight. 💔

@moirarvane Moira, I have many fond memories of my time with your father. He was a loyal and generous friend to me, often tossing out the occasional expletive, and I valued the work I did for him. I'll reach out to you for his email address so that I can tell him that directly.

It absolutely breaks my heart to share with you all that my dad has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. While we are all devastated, he has been adamant that no one should feel sorry for him because he lived a good life and all his dreams came true.

Amazing opportunity for #lawtwitter - there is at least one position open at the Legal Aid Commission in Yellowknife. This is not duty counsel work like in Ontario. You will be doing trials, including jury trials, in Yellowknife and remote communities. gov.nt.ca/careers/en/job…

@conwayllpsrl Congratulations Alyssa!

Alyssa has practiced with us since 2021. Kevin is pure home grown talent and started with us as a summer student in 2015. Both have important and growing practices in all areas of commercial and public law litigation. Welcome aboard! (2/2)

New partner alert!! We are very excited to announce that Alyssa Holland and @KevinCaron have joined our partnership, effective Jan 1. (1/2)

@Megan_Holsapple I know. I don’t know NWT’s experience with the new order making power but it will be interesting to see. I would like to think that it will not be the same.

Interesting take on Canada’s Information Commissioner’s order making power.

Great news. Doesn’t deal with the national shortage of paediatric ICU beds, but it is good to know that Nunavut has access to this valuable resource. Manitoba reverses policy on ICU care for Nunavut children. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@ShiriMacpherson Adults often don’t listen to kids. Kudos to you for speaking out and advocating for other kids.

Sometimes I remember how several gym teachers, coaches, and doctors called me dramatic, belittled me, put me down, and overall made me feel crazy for having lung pain during cardio & not being able to keep up with my peers….. (cont’d)

@Megan_Holsapple @OurYellowknife Me. I guess they will all be announced at once?

@moirarvane Moira, my condolences to your dad. I remember his story of escape well.

@moirarvane Congratulations Moira! So well deserved.

Some very exciting personal news! Congratulations to everyone in the other categories!
