Unite & Support

OBA Community Unite and Support

The OBA is committed to enhancing the connectivity of members across the province and embracing our strengths and differences to move the dial of equality, diversity and inclusion in a collaborative, empowering and meaningful way. While lawyers themselves are not immune from discrimination and hate motivated-incidents, the OBA and its members are forces to be reckoned with and steadfast champions of justice from all regions of the province. As proponents of fairness and justice, OBA lawyers are well positioned to serve our communities, drive change and support each other during stressful periods.  

Wherever you are in the province, the OBA Unite & Support Network is a community resource for education, collaboration and support by and for OBA members from all practice areas, years of experience and locations.  Here you will find information, tools and services aimed at assisting equity-seekers and allies in a supportive and inclusive environment that strengthens resilience and builds a stronger community.

Helpful Articles

The OBA's diverse membership of lawyers publishes timely and helpful articles centred around the challenges faced by our diverse communities from hate-based incidents and marginalizing behaviours, and how to address these challenges in ways that promote inclusivity and respect.

CPD Programming

The OBA continues to develop important programming that recognizes the needs of lawyers to support and work together in eradicating hate and bias. These programs also provide audiences with the practical tools, supports and strategies to promote inclusion. Check back regularly for new programs.

Discussion Board

Community members are invited to join our private and secure Discussion Board as a way to connect with, encourage, and help one another with resources as well as supports.

Upon completion of the registration form, you will have access to the Discussion Board within 24 hours.

The Discussion Board is not regularly monitored and the posts, info and opinions expressed are that of the respective poster(s) and not of the OBA.
