On December 12, 2018, a Fireside Chat on Advocacy<br />
was held in Simcoe County featuring Mr.<br />
David C. Nahwegahbow. The event took place<br />
at Casino Rama and was generously sponsored<br />
by Nahwegahbow, Corbiere Genoodmagejig,<br />
Barristers & Solicitors, Oatley Vigmond Personal<br />
Injury Lawyers LLP, and Carroll Heyd Chown<br />
LLP. Mr. Nahwegahbow was interviewed by<br />
Professor Jeffery Hewitt from the University of<br />
Windsor, Faculty of Law.<br />
It was a very special evening. Mr. Nahwegahbow<br />
is widely recognized as an expert in<br />
Indigenous law and has long been an outstanding<br />
role model for Indigenous lawyers<br />
throughout Canada. He spoke about his<br />
background, his early beginnings as a legal<br />
advocate, his work on a Child Welfare case<br />
currently before the Canadian Human Rights<br />
Tribunal, and his work on a treaty interpretation<br />
case involving the Robinson-Huron<br />
Treaty of 1850 currently before the Ontario<br />
Superior Court of Justice.<br />
YASC looks forward to hosting more events<br />
in Simcoe County.<br />
