This exciting fast-paced half-day course will bring together leaders in the field, including featured speaker, the Honourable Attorney General Niki Sharma, KC, to share the latest and greatest developments in animal law—summarized in 15- to 30-minute increments.
At this course, you will learn about:

- unpacking the Criminal Code and regulatory crimes against animals
- animal law in environmental and climate concerns, Rights of Nature
- Indigenous perspectives on wildlife law
- how human rights law impacts people and their animals
- upcoming federal legislative developments for animals
