2024

On May 16, 2024, the OBA’s Young Lawyer’s Central Division hosted its annual Young Lawyers Gala, bringing together a hundred of next generation of legal leaders and influencers in the practice and business of law in Ontario. It was a heart touching evening with keynote address from The Honourable Mahmud Jamal, and acceptance speech from our Heather McArthur Memorial Young Lawyers Award recipient, Sahil Shoor.

On May 8, 2024, OBA Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law Section proudly presented the Rising Star Award to three of our award winners, Veronica Tsou (2022), Lisa Danay Wallace (2023) and Tamara Celine Winegust (2024). We are glad to host this inaugural award ceremony at the OBA Conference Centre.

On February 26, 2024, OBA celebrates the Black History Month in partnering with CABL as we pay tribute to the contribution of Black lawyers in Canada. The night was elevated by the great jerk food, transcendent musical beats, carnival costumes, and everyone’s laughter.
