Historically, our annual "Labour + Employment Year in Review" sessions provided key legal updates on topics like off-duty conduct terminations, employee privacy, and changes to the Occupational Health + Safety Code.

This year, we’re once again taking a forward-thinking approach, focusing on how 2025's legal developments will shape your business in 2026. These sessions will help you anticipate challenges, adapt policies, and stay compliant.

Join us for practical guidance on navigating recent case law and legislative changes, positioning your organization for success in the evolving labour and employment landscape.
