Although the impact of COVID-19 has been a huge challenge for the entire BC legal community, it has given us the opportunity to use technology to innovate and transform how we operate.

Over the past year, CLEBC has quickly adapted to the increasing needs of BC legal professionals for online content by making our publications and courses more easily accessible online. A new publications model was developed that catered to customer online needs. When all in-person events were cancelled, new short COVID-related online courses were created with the invaluable support of our contributors as well as free online Zoom training for our speakers. The new short online courses were available within just a few weeks of moving the entire CLEBC operation offsite.

As a result of COVID-19, CLEBC has re-examined how we produce and deliver our courses and publications, as well as how we operate on a day-to-day basis. We have increased our knowledge and expertise in the online world, developed new products, and learned that with the help of technology and an openness to new ways of working we can effectively manage everything from remote locations.

Throughout the past 10 months, the CLEBC team, our contributors, and customers, have demonstrated resilience and innovation and we are proud to be part of the significant digital transformation that is occurring in our BC legal community.
