SUMMARY:National Virtual Town Hall by the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute (ANSJI)\, you are invited to a National Virtual Town Hall to garner support for the development of a National IRCA™ Centre. The purpose of the National IRCA™ Centre will be to support the ongoing development of IRCA™ service delivery in each provincial and territorial jurisdiction. \nImpact of Race and Culture Assessments (IRCAs™) are pre-sentencing reports that help judges better understand how systemic barriers like poverty\, marginalization\, racism\, and social exclusion have affected offenders of African descent\, racialized\, and other overrepresented persons and their interactions with the justice system. Click here and here to learn more about IRCAs™. \nThis Town Hall will bring together Provincial\, Territorial\, and National organizations and individuals who support work within the intersection of race and justice in Canada. The Town Hall has four main purposes: \n\nTo inform participants about the idea of creating a National IRCA™ Centre\,\nTo assess if there is consensus for the creation of a National IRCA™ Centre\,\nTo use the feedback gathered from the Town Hall to inform the feasibility study that will be submitted to the Federal Department of Justice\, and\nTo nominate a member review Committee that will play a key role in reviewing and providing feedback on the development of the feasibility study.\n\nYour input will help shape this critical work\, and ensure that it reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of those working at the intersection of race and justice across Canada. \nTo accommodate participants across the country\, we will host two sessions. The first session will be held Tuesday\, February 11th\, 2025 at 1:00PM (AST) via Zoom\, and the second will be Thursday\, February 13th\, 2025 at 2:30PM (AST) via Zoom.

La séance de discussion ouverte a quatre objectifs principaux : \n\ninformer les participants sur l’idée de créer un Centre national des EIOEC;\névaluer s’il existe un consensus en faveur de la création d’un Centre national des EIOEC;\nutiliser les commentaires recueillis lors de la séance de discussion ouverte pour étayer l’étude de faisabilité qui sera soumise au ministère fédéral de la Justice; et\nnommer un comité d’évaluation des membres qui jouera un rôle clé dans l’évaluation et le retour d’information sur le développement de l’étude de faisabilité.\n\nVous avez été invité(e) à cette réunion publique parce que vous êtes un leader dans le travail à l’intersection de la race et de la justice au Canada. Votre contribution aidera à façonner ce travail critique et à s’assurer qu’il reflète les diverses perspectives et expériences de ceux qui travaillent à l’intersection de la race et de la justice à travers le Canada. \nAfin d’accueillir les participants de tout le pays\, nous organiserons deux sessions. La première session aura lieu le mardi 11 février 2025 à 13 h (HNA) via Zoom\, et la seconde aura lieu le jeudi 13 février 2025 à 14 h 30 (HNA) via Zoom.

Lawyers practicing in the area of estate litigation may also find the presentation of interest. \n\n\nAbout the Program\nWills and estates practitioners – as well as other professionals involved in the estate planning process – can take many different steps throughout the planning process to limit the likelihood of a successful challenge to an estate plan and/or a testamentary document. While litigation cannot be completely avoided\, the risks inherent in estate planning transactions can be significantly reduced by taking some relatively simple steps at the front end. In this webinar\, experienced estates litigator David Hunter will discuss three of the most litigated issues in estate litigation – testamentary capacity\, undue influence\, and gifts by right of survivorship. Drawing on recent cases and examples from his own practice\, David will offer important insights on the broad duty placed on solicitors in the estate planning process\, and the importance of taking accurate and complete notes and properly documenting a will maker’s intentions. By the end of the program\, you’ll have a better understanding of key principles and practices that\, properly followed\, will help avoid pitfalls in the planning and drafting process and save a significant amount of time\, energy\, and expense for everyone involved. Register early to avoid disappointment! \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter\n\nDavid Hunter is a partner and Co-Chair of the Estate and Trust Litigation department at Hamilton Duncan in Surrey\, B.C. David has a civil litigation practice with a primary focus on estate and trust litigation.

SUMMARY:National Virtual Town Hall by the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute (ANSJI)\, you are invited to a National Virtual Town Hall to garner support for the development of a National IRCA™ Centre. The purpose of the National IRCA™ Centre will be to support the ongoing development of IRCA™ service delivery in each provincial and territorial jurisdiction. \nImpact of Race and Culture Assessments (IRCAs™) are pre-sentencing reports that help judges better understand how systemic barriers like poverty\, marginalization\, racism\, and social exclusion have affected offenders of African descent\, racialized\, and other overrepresented persons and their interactions with the justice system. Click here and here to learn more about IRCAs™. \nThis Town Hall will bring together Provincial\, Territorial\, and National organizations and individuals who support work within the intersection of race and justice in Canada. The Town Hall has four main purposes: \n\nTo inform participants about the idea of creating a National IRCA™ Centre\,\nTo assess if there is consensus for the creation of a National IRCA™ Centre\,\nTo use the feedback gathered from the Town Hall to inform the feasibility study that will be submitted to the Federal Department of Justice\, and\nTo nominate a member review Committee that will play a key role in reviewing and providing feedback on the development of the feasibility study.\n\nYour input will help shape this critical work\, and ensure that it reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of those working at the intersection of race and justice across Canada. \nTo accommodate participants across the country\, we will host two sessions. The first session will be held Tuesday\, February 11th\, 2025 at 1:00PM (AST) via Zoom\, and the second will be Thursday\, February 13th\, 2025 at 2:30PM (AST) via Zoom.

L’objectif du Centre national des EIOEC sera de soutenir le développement continu de la prestation de services des EIOEC dans chaque juridiction provinciale et territoriale. \nLes évaluations de l’incidence de l’origine ethnique et culturelle (EIOEC) sont des rapports pré-sentenciels qui aident les juges à mieux comprendre comment les barrières systémiques telles que la pauvreté\, la marginalisation\, le racisme et l’exclusion sociale ont eu des répercussions sur les délinquants d’ascendance africaine\, les personnes racialisées et les autres personnes surreprésentées\, ainsi que sur leurs interactions avec le système de justice. Cliquez ici et ici pour en savoir plus sur les EIOEC. \nCette séance de discussion ouverte réunira des organisations provinciales\, territoriales et nationales ainsi que des personnes qui soutiennent le travail à l’intersection de la race et de la justice au Canada. La séance de discussion ouverte a quatre objectifs principaux : \n\ninformer les participants sur l’idée de créer un Centre national des EIOEC;\névaluer s’il existe un consensus en faveur de la création d’un Centre national des EIOEC;\nutiliser les commentaires recueillis lors de la séance de discussion ouverte pour étayer l’étude de faisabilité qui sera soumise au ministère fédéral de la Justice; et\nnommer un comité d’évaluation des membres qui jouera un rôle clé dans l’évaluation et le retour d’information sur le développement de l’étude de faisabilité.\n\nVous avez été invité(e) à cette réunion publique parce que vous êtes un leader dans le travail à l’intersection de la race et de la justice au Canada.
