Join the Family Law – Fraser Valley Section for a special harvest-inspired gathering offering an opportunity to step away from the pace of practice and reconnect with peers.

The evening features a cocktail reception, networking games, and a keynote address from The Hon. Justice Lisa Hamilton of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, where you'll hear her unique perspective from both sides of the courtroom, including reflections on lessons learned throughout her legal career and insights she wishes she had known while in practice.

Come gather around The Harvest Table, leaving refreshed and energized for the busy season ahead.
