This is fantastic news for Ottawa’s legal community, in both official languages. It’s been my honour to work alongside @anneslevesque for the last 9 years as counsel to @FNcaringsociety, at the CHRT, FC, and SCC. So glad to see this well-deserved recognition. Félicitations!

I have had the privilege of practicing with @msandilands in one form or another for most of the last 5.5 years. She is a dedicated advocate, a reliable colleague, an excellent friend and a skilled curler. Happy to add trusted partner to the list!
